History of Château Poujeaux

The origins of Château Poujeaux date back to the Middle Ages, when the Terre de Poujeaux was part of the Seigneurie de Latour Saint-Mambert, known today as Château Latour, a First Growth of Pauillac. The name "Château Poujeaux" first appeared in 1806, but it was not until the 19th century that the estate began producing its own wines and gradually gaining its independence.

Over the centuries, the estate has passed through several hands, undergoing divisions and regroupings. It was not until 1921 that the Theil family acquired the estate, reuniting the scattered parcels to form a coherent whole. This restructuring allowed Château Poujeaux to regain its reputation as a renowned wine estate.

The modern era of Château Poujeaux truly began in 2008, when the Cuvelier family, already owners of Clos Fourtet in Saint-Émilion, took the reins. Driven by Matthieu Cuvelier's vision and the know-how of oenologist Stéphane Derenoncourt, the estate embarked on a modernisation phase to reach the summit of the great Bordeaux wines. Thanks to meticulous management and significant investments, Château Poujeaux has reconnected with excellence and continues to establish itself as a benchmark for the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation.

Terroirs and Vineyards of Château Poujeaux

The Château Poujeaux vineyard covers 68 contiguous hectares, nestled on the gravel ridges of the Grand Poujeaux, in the north-east of Moulis-en-Médoc. This terroir, composed of Günzian gravelly soils, gives the estate's wines a finesse and depth characteristic of the appellation. Located at an altitude of up to 25 metres, the vines benefit from ideal conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes, offering a perfect balance between power and elegance.

The vineyard's vine plantings are well-balanced, with a majority of cabernet sauvignon (50%) and merlot (40%), complemented by cabernet franc (5%) and petit verdot (5%). This diversity of grape varieties allows the estate to produce complex and expressive wines, with each variety contributing its own nuance. The vines, with an average age of 35 years, are planted at a density of 10,000 vines per hectare, ensuring optimal concentration of aromas.

Winemaking at Château Poujeaux

Winemaking at Château Poujeaux is based on a philosophy of excellence and respect for the fruit. Each step is designed to enhance the intrinsic qualities of the grapes, from the selection of the plots to the final blends. The hand-harvested grapes are generally picked between mid-September and mid-October, with each plot harvested at its optimal maturity. A meticulous sorting ensures that only the best grapes are retained.

The modernised winery facilities, under the direction of the Cuvelier family, allow for parcel-by-parcel vinification thanks to small-capacity tanks. This enables the separation of the grapes according to vine age, grape varieties and plot of origin, to create complementary batches. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in vats for about a month, followed by a 12-month ageing period in French oak barrels, with 30 to 40% new oak depending on the vintage.

The art of blending, carried out with rigour and concentration, creates wines faithful to the spirit of Château Poujeaux, where elegance, depth and balance are the watchwords. Each vintage is a reflection of meticulous attention to detail and a constant quest for perfection.
