Description
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 ClassÃ© ChÃ¢teau Clos Fourtet, have taken over the destiny of this lovely estate in Moulis en MÃ©doc. While ensuring the continuity of operations here, they are also injecting new energy and lots of ambition into the property.

Chateau Poujeaux

Chateau Poujeaux has an interesting history that can be traced all the way back to the 16th Century. At the time, the owner of Chateau Latour in Pauillac, Gaston De L’Isle, owned the estate. He was also responsible for building the classic Chateau de la Riviere in Fronsac. During the tenure of De L’Isle, the Moulis estate was known as La Salle de Poujeaux. Over the years, or should I say centuries, Chateau Poujeaux, like numerous Bordeaux estates has been the property of a multitude of owners.

In fact, the owner of Chateau Beychevelle in St. Julien, Marquis François Etienne de Brassier was one those owners. Over the centuries, Chateau Poujeaux was bought, sold, split up and divided. It was not until 1921, when the Theil family became the owners of the property that all the previously divided sections were brought back together again.
