Strong, muscular 79% Cabernet fruit yet also floral with lots of flavour - ‘just what we are looking for’ says the winemaking team. Score: 90 Steven Spurrier, Decanter.com Maturity: 2021-2035 Date: 01 April 2016 |

Fourth Growth Chateau Pouget is one of the smallest estates in the 1855 classification and probably the rarest, with just 4000 cases a year on average. Owned by the Guillemet family for over a hundred years, it is now in the hands of the fifth generation, since 1996 when winemaker Lucien Guillemet returned after managing Chateau Giscours. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 7% Cabernet Franc. There is good ripeness here, crisp fragrant black fruit with a hint of spice. Medium weight of richer fruit with mellow rounded tannins, freshness and overall lovely balance. Stylish and very Margaux. Score: 90 - 93 Albany Vintners, - Date: 01 April 2016 |
