"The 2015 Pouget caused the biggest surprise of the entire blind tasting. [...] The 2015 has an earthy, undergrowth-tinged bouquet, a little disjointed at first but merging with aeration while remaining classic in style. The medium-bodied palate offers black and red fruits, fine tannins and well-judged acidity. Full of tension and balance, leading to a chiseled finish. Excellent. " (Vinous N. Martin - 2019) - Delivery in wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine (Excluding Point Relais delivery method)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 17.5/20 (Reference wine)

Domain rated (2021 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Great nose, a little more roasted than Boyd, fullness and complexity of a great vintage, perfectly classic in construction, great future.

About the domain :

It's a pity that we rarely taste this petit cru classé in bottle. A neighbor of Boyd-Cantenac, it belongs to the same owner, but is vinified separately: little now separates the two crus. The quality of the barrels, long a weak point, has improved considerably over the last five years, even if the woodiness is still a little insistent in young wines. On the other hand, the high level of extraction allows it to age with serenity.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 2*Stars (Outstanding wine)

Domain rated (guide 2020) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

Discreet at first, the bouquet of this 2015 blossoms with aeration on a seductive palette blending redcurrant jam, plum and toasty nuances. This beautiful complexity is echoed on the palate, which is both round and tannic. A superb harmony, beautifully crafted.

About the domain :

Long renowned for its wines, the virtues of which were extolled by the Maréchal-duc de Richelieu in the 18th century (his coat of arms still appears on the label), this 10-hectare cru, classified in 1855, came into the Guillemet (Boyd-Cantenac) family in 1906. Lucien Guillemet has been at the helm since 1996.

Domain rated (guide 2021) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the wine:

A broad Margaux with an imposing structure and plenty of substance and flesh. The fruit is vibrant and explosive. Admirable finish.

About the domain :

Pouget is a small, discreet Cru Classé in Margaux, owned, like Boyd-Cantenac, by Lucien Guillemet. It is vinified in the same spirit as Boyd, but without the depth and potential of Boyd. Nonetheless, it remains highly seductive and pleasant. The wine is not sold on the square, so it's not easy to find.

Very mellow and rich, with lots of ripe tannins and intense flavors. Medium-long finish. Should develop beautifully.
