Notes : Robert Parker 90/100, RVF 16,5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, Guide Hachette 2**(Vin remarquable) + Coup de Coeur
"The intensity and elegance of the bright garnet-red color are matched by an equally seductive bouquet of ripe fruit, toast and spices with floral nuances. Built on a noble woodiness and muscular tannins, without harshness, the palate is powerful and robust, yet retains real elegance and remarkable balance. A truly great wine for laying down, which it would be a shame to serve for at least four or five years". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014) - Delivery in wooden crate for orders delivered in France of 6 bottles of this wine - (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)

Moulis-en-Médoc
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Owned by the Cuvelier family since 2008 (who also own Clos Fourtet, in Saint-Émilion), this deep-gravel vineyard on the Grand Poujeaux plateau enjoys formidable terroirs as well as optimal facilities. Recommended by Stéphane Derenoncourt, the result is one of the finest moulis ever made, both rich and suave.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Forgotten in the 1855 classification, Moulis having long remained a cereal-growing region, this cru is nevertheless one of the most renowned in the Médoc. A former seigneury dependent on Latour Saint-Maubert, the future Ch. Latour, it experienced a boom in the 1920s with the Theil family, who unified the vineyard, now 68 ha in a single block on the beautiful gravelly terroir of Grand-Poujeaux, and brought the estate to the top of the appellation. Since 2008, it has belonged to Philippe Cuvelier, owner of Clos Fourtet (Saint-Émilion's 1er grand cru classé), who maintains the highest standards of quality.

About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
An emblematic property of the appellation, Poujeaux has belonged to the Cuvelier family (Clos Fourtet) since 2008. Under the leadership of its director, Christophe Labenne, advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt, the wines have steadily progressed, reaching a good cruising speed, so that the cru remains a benchmark in the appellation. The style tends towards finesse and elegance, which is perfectly suited to this cru, which nevertheless ages very well. The latest vintages are on target.
