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.
