Tasting Notes

The 2006 Château Poujeaux has an attractive bouquet with plenty of lovely blackcurrant and raspberry fruit interlaced with cedar and tobacco notes. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip in the mouth, impressive substance and a tightly-coiled, saline finish that suggests this might surpass expectation. It certainly did mine. One to look out for. Tasted January 2016.

Score: 91

Tasted at a negotiant. An attractive nose of blackberry, earth and Morello. Good definition. The palate does not disappoint with good concentration, quite thick, chewy tannins and a masculine style. Harmonious with vibrant acidity and a cedar/graphite tinged finish. Like the Maucaillou, nothing to set you heart racing, but undeniably well-crafted and "natural". Tasted April 2007.

Score: 89 - 91

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 25 April 2007

Balanced and pretty, offering berry and milk chocolate aromas, with a hint of nutmeg. Medium-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a balance of ripe and pretty tannins. Best after 2011. 23,330 cases made.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2011+ 31 March 2009

Lots of smoke, berry and spice character on the nose. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Slightly aggressive in the end. But should come around.

Score: 85 - 88

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 April 2007

This estate was acquired last year by St.-Emilion’s Cuvelier family, who has done a phenomenal job of bringing the famous Premieres Grand Cru Classe of St.-Emilion, Clos Fourtet, into superstar status. Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt are now producing the wine, although I do not believe they had anything to do with the 2006. Its deep ruby/purple color, notes of sweet black currants, incense, camphor, and spice box, and medium to full-bodied style are accompanied by a wine with excellent fruit intensity, purity, and length. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Good value.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2009-2024 01 February 2009

Medium ruby. Black cherry and a floral perfume on the ripe nose. Round and rich, but with a firm edge of acidity giving the wine shape. Offers a restrained sweetness. Solidly structured but not hard. Finishes with palate-dusting tannins. Another very good performance by this consistent property.

Score: 87 - 89

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 May 2007

Fresh, rather jazzy fruit on the nose, and some oak. Ripe blackcurrants a little raw and very chewy but fine tannins, which do rather swamp the fruit. Straightforward. In another, riper vintage this formula would be very appetising and successful.

Score: 15
