Château POUJEAUX 2007
Château Poujeaux is an estate located in the Moulis-en-Médoc sub-appellation within Haut-Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde in Bordeaux. The château began producing wine in the 19th Century and, in 1921, was purchased by the Theil family. Being located in Haut-Medoc, Château Poujeaux favors Cabernet Sauvignon in the production of its three wines: the grand vin is predominantly made from Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
In the now-defunct 2003 Cru Bourgeois classification, Château Poujeaux was awarded the status of Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel – the highest standing for a château from the Médoc not included in the 1855 Classification. In 2010, a heavily revised Cru Bourgeois label was re-introduced that did not establish a tiered system and, as a result, Château Poujeaux and five other houses that had been named Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel formed their own group called Les Exceptionnels outside of the new classification.
