93 / 100"Love the fruity and chocolate character here, with lots spices and nutmeg. Full and velvety with soft tannins and a long finish."
- James Suckling
92 / 100
"A strong effort, the tannic, medium to full-bodied 2010 possesses good minerality, zesty acidity, admirable freshness and both blue and black fruits. With impressive depth and length, this pure Moulis should drink well for 15+ years. Drink: 2013 - 2026."
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
91 / 100
"Dark and enticing, with a subtle smoky frame around the core of mulled plum, black currant and blackberry fruit. The long, graceful finish is inlaid with flecks of charcoal, black tea and singed sandalwood."

Tasting Notes
It is capable of lasting 15 years. Kudos to new proprietor Philippe Cuvelier (also the owner of St.-Emilion's Clos Fourtet) for resurrecting this well-known estate. The Poujeaux estate has been producing wine since the 19th century. In 2008, Philippe Cuvelier and his son Matthieu, who are already the happy owners of the Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé Château Clos Fourtet, have taken over the destiny of this lovely estate in Moulis en Médoc. While ensuring the continuity of operations here, they are also injecting new energy and lots of ambition into the property.
