Tasting Notes

Has an old school heart to it, as is so often the case with Poujeaux, then opens deftly to show richly textured brambled blackberry and loganberry fruits, waves of cocoa-dusted almonds and liquorice root, acidity pretty high on the finish.

The 2022 Poujeaux has a succinct bouquet with touches of black fruit, gravel, seaweed, iodine and a light marine influence. It is very well defined and quite understated. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip and fine tannins fanning out on the finish. It's a little Saint-Julien in style. This classically styled Poujeaux will age well in bottle.

The 2022 Poujeaux is quite the powerhouse. A burst of dark red/blue fruits, cedar, pipe tobacco, incense, new leather and licorice saturates the palate. Dense, potent and explosive, the 2022 is certainly not a shy wine. It captures the essential qualities of the year in its interplay of opulent fruit and energy. I would prefer to cellar the 2022 for at least a few years. There's a lot of wine here. Tasted two times.

The 2022 Château Poujeaux is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon but includes 42% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. A big, rich, almost massive Listrac, it sports a dense purple color, impressive notes of black fruits, chocolate, and crushed stone, medium to full-bodied richness, and a great finish. It might be the most impressive Poujeaux I've ever tasted. Tasted twice.

Score: 91 - 93 Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com Date: 10 May 2023

The 2022 Poujeaux offers up aromas of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated palate that opens with a velvety attack, segueing into a firmer, more austere mid-palate and finish that depress my score. If this rounds out with élevage, my review will prove conservative.

Score: 88 - 90 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 28 April 2023

A medium-bodied red with crunchy fruit and tight tannin structure. Juicy acidity coming through. Chewy and solid at the end. Closed and pretty tannins.
