The winemaker

The History of Chateau Poujeaux


Château Poujeaux was first known in the Middle Ages as Terre de Poujeaux. Located in Moulis in the Médoc, it was a seigniory dependent on Latour Saint Mambert, the future Château Latour, Premier Grand Cru Classé in Pauillac. Château Poujeaux became independent and produced its own wine during the 19th century.

The estate of Château Poujeaux then appears divided into three sections, before being taken over by the Theil family at the end of the 20th century who undertook to reunify the land. In 1956, Château Poujeaux consisted of 100 hectares of land, of which 70 hectares were devoted to the cultivation of vines, in a single block.

Since 2008, Château Poujeaux has been taken over by the Cuvelier family who already owned the famous Clos Fourtet, Premier Grand Cru Classé in Saint Émilion. Today, Matthieu Cuvelier and Christophe Labenne jointly manage the estate.

The vineyard of Château Poujeaux


The 70 hectares of the Château Poujeaux vineyard - all in one piece - are planted exclusively in red. The vineyard is composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc.

The Merlot brings its roundness and charm to accompany the energy and tension provided by the Cabernet Sauvignon. The Petit Verdot is certainly in the minority, but it remains essential to compose the solid structure of the Château Poujeaux wine and enrich its aromatic palette. Cabernet Franc is selected to give the wine an intense complexity.

The vineyards of Chateau Poujeaux are spread over beautiful gravelly sections northeast of Moulis in the Médoc. The average age of the vines is 35 years and the average annual production is 330,000 bottles.

The estate of Château Poujeaux is run under sustainable agriculture. The land is worked with the greatest care, respecting nature and the seasons. The products used are natural and the work is essentially manual, which includes the harvest.

The wines of Château Poujeaux


Chateau Poujeaux

Château Poujeaux is an intense wine with aromas dominated by red and black fruits. It boasts a magnificent intense ruby color.

The wine offers a lively attack that continues with an exceptional length. The palate is voluminous and the tannins are still present but balanced. This is a very structured wine with excellent aging potential.

Château Poujeaux represents an average of 250,000 bottles annually.

The Chateau Poujeaux Room

Château Poujeaux's second wine, La Salle de Château Poujeaux, plays on a subtle, yet bold blend that mixes the delicacy of fresh fruit with the richness of riper fruit.

The wine should be drunk young to enjoy its supple tannins. It can nevertheless lend itself to ageing.

La Salle de Château Poujeaux represents a production of 80,000 bottles each year.
