Château Branas Grand Poujeaux: A Moulis-en-Médoc Gem

Sourced from the prestigious gravel slopes of the Grand Poujeaux plateau, Château Branas Grand Poujeaux consistently over-delivers for its Moulis-en-Médoc appellation. Positioned amongst renowned neighbours, this Cru Bourgeois is celebrated for its modern, expressive style, blending the roundness of Merlot (50%) with the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon (45%) and a touch of Petit Verdot.

Tasting Notes & Character

• Appearance: A deep, vibrant colour, indicative of the wine's concentration.
• Aromas: The nose is complex and beguiling, featuring concentrated dark berry fruit (blackcurrant, bramble) layered with classic Médoc notes of pencil shavings, tobacco leaf, and subtle vanilla from quality oak maturation.
• Palate: Rich, full, and beautifully concentrated. The texture is smooth and creamy, supported by a framework of polished, fine-grained tannins. It offers a beautiful balance between ripeness and freshness, leading to a lengthy, satisfying finish with hints of mocha and liquorice.
• Drinkability: Enjoyable young with decanting, but its structure promises excellent development over the next decade and beyond, making it a superb cellar investment.

Food Pairing & Decanting Advice

This wine is a superb partner for classic British roasts and game dishes. We recommend serving it at 16°C (61°F). Decanting for 60 to 90 minutes is advised to allow the wine's complex bouquet to fully open up and express the Grand Poujeaux terroir.
