Chateau Poujeaux Moulis en Medoc Primeur (En Primeur Futures)

Crafted in the famed Moulis-en-Médoc appellation on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, France, Château Poujeaux is an iconic, highly acclaimed estate universally recognized as the crown jewel of Moulis. Owned and passionately managed by the Cuvelier family (who also owns the famous Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé estate Château Clos Fourtet), the property benefits from world-class winemaking stewardship led by Stephane Derenoncourt and Julien Laviller. The estate’s historic 68-hectare single-block vineyard sits on magnificent, deep Grand-Poujeaux Günzian gravel mounds over limestone and clay subsoils, providing exceptional natural drainage and heat retention. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, balanced with small proportions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the vines yield fruit of intense concentration, structural harmony, and savory complexity. Offered as an En Primeur (Futures) allocation prior to physical release, the wine undergoes plot-by-plot vinification in thermoregulated stainless steel, concrete, and oak vats before aging for 12 to 14 months in fine French oak barrels (30–40% new). Château Poujeaux delivers a classic, age-worthy Left Bank expression that consistently punches well above its weight class.

Food Pairing: Prime dry-aged ribeye steak, roasted rack of lamb, braised beef short ribs, pork tenderloin with berry reduction, wild mushroom ragù, and fine aged French cheeses like Comté or Gouda.
