| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.9 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 43 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Cofxc on 4/26/2024 & rated 86 points: Fresh, red fruit, a light kirsch which is nice here. Pomegranate (probably a little VA). Pineapple juice, pina colada. Exotic. Entertaining. Needs time to calm. (490 views) | | | Tasted by markjanes on 4/24/2024 & rated 90 points: extremely deep color, ruby to purple rim. on the nose, earthy and slighty rustic classic bordeaux aromas of cab and merlot. on the palate high acids, moderate midpalate depth, tannins are integrating and present, moderate alcohol. wine has balance, good length, very good intensity. there is finesse, a really fine tecture, excellent expression of place. this bottle felt a bit more evolved than the last one... certainly in the drinking window with a couple hours in the decanter. very nice wine. (788 views) | | | Tasted by Ståles vinkjeller on 2/25/2024 & rated 92 points: Veldig godt følge til entrecote på LeBenjamin. 92p (1386 views) | | | Tasted by dked2407 on 12/25/2023 & rated 90 points: Idem 24/12 (1729 views) | | | Tasted by dked2407 on 12/24/2023 & rated 88 points: Bon vin, équilibré mais encore peu de profondeur, probablement ouverte trop tôt. (1602 views) | | | Tasted by RoelD on 12/17/2023 & rated 92 points: Together with Ch.Chasse Spleen the best known estate from the Moulis appellation in the Middle-Médoc. A deep Bordeaux-red color with still a purple hue. Smell and taste are dominated by the Cabernet Sauvignon (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot) with blackberry and cassis aromas and still a tiny bit of new oak, ripe tannins, adequate acidity and a medium long finish. This is a nice classic left bank Bordeaux which (to my taste) is already enjoyable now but will probably improve with some years of cellaring. Certainly a good QPR at 30€ (in 2019). (2059 views) | | | Tasted by Jake Barnes on 10/16/2023 & rated 85 points: Purchased at retail to help judge the right time to open my case. The answer, based on this bottle, is no time soon.
With time in glass, this showed some nice black cherry and mocha on the nose on day one and was better on day two, but this was really the best of it. It seemed a bit thin and showed some bitter alcohol in the finish. Another taster has suggested that it is going through a phase, and I (very hopefully) agree. 13.5% ABV (**/14.5/85) (2252 views) | | | Tasted by markjanes on 9/11/2023 & rated 90 points: QN: really nice bordeaux that is balanced and deeply flavored that needs significant time... didn't budge much in the decanter. try again in 2024 (2093 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 9/1/2023: Plums, blackcurrant, sweet spice, cedar and a savoury under pin. Juicy, savoury, fleshy, tannins are restrained , flavours as per nose but fresher, wilder, pretty good. (1867 views) | | | Tasted by Tartiflette on 7/21/2023 & rated 90 points: Had to try this one because we had the 2019 the other day and it was great. But the 2016 has closed down I am afraid. Needs lots of air or another 10 years. Good potential though with hard tannins now but charming fruit underneath. (2119 views) | | | Tasted by JCH2019 on 11/26/2022 & rated 93 points: Well this was a surprise. Nose multi-layered; cassis, the macqui, eucalyptus as stated. In the mouth this is multi-layered - strong but fine tannins, lovely blackcurrant, herbs, graphite, damsons, black cherries and a very long, parallel flavoured finish. I think this is a triumph. So much so I have ordered some while in the restaurant in which I had it....priced at £75 on the wine list. I've just paid £33.36 - worth it. (3534 views) | | | Tasted by mathwonk on 9/10/2022: tasty with LOTS of air. it was too sharp to enjoy upon opening and since I did not want to wait 4 hours, I sloshed it back and forth between two decanters 8 or 10 times and then aerated it into my glass, and we are enjoying it. and at $35 the price is definitely right. with some more age this would probably be pretty good. (3581 views) | | | Tasted by Putnam Weekley on 4/9/2022 & rated 92 points: NOSE: a broad, patient, and rich exhibition of cassis, eucalyptus, and violets. Chipped slabs of igneous rock in the background. MOUTH: a brash, grape-flavored attack introduces sophisticated sensations of groomed, grippy, cacao-scented tannins. Spanning the event: Turkish coffee, pencil shavings, black soil, prune, vanilla, and frosty mint. There's a mineral coherence lying beneath this performance that marks a significant, deep-memory stimulant. Russian tea rooms. Hanseatic liberal revolutions. 92+ points. (4638 views) | | | Tasted by Michael Mackenzie on 2/25/2022 & rated 92 points: Updating my note of 1/30/22.
This wine just gets better.
On the nose, after four hours decanting, a ripe, opulent nose worthy of a Margaux wine. Excellent cassis, floral and sensuous.
On the palate, med body, rounded, silky, fleshy fruit mixing cassis and plum with the plum to the fore. Long finish, balanced, rounded with v good fruit.
Overall, an excellent wine with the structure, in spite of the apparent softness, to age, yet is delicious now. (4332 views) | | | Tasted by Michael Mackenzie on 1/30/2022 & rated 90 points: Revisited this with another bottle.
Nose: after four hours decanting develops very ripe CS notes, full, opulent, with some plum notes behind, earthy notes too.
Taste: light/med body, v rounded and ripe, succulent cassis notes with plum, q good acidity although soft (unusual in most 2016s I have tried), long finish, soft tannins and ripe cassis. Opulent.
Overall, a huge improvement on the last bottle from a case just delivered. (4160 views) | | | Tasted by Michael Mackenzie on 1/28/2022: CS: 60%, M: 35%, PV: 5%. ABV 13.5%.
Colour: v deep red, v thin rim, purple tinge.
Nose: full, fresh, savoury, q austere CS notes, spicy,
Taste: med body, soft, ripe CS notes but strangely diluted, plums follow, med finish, soft, plums more than cassis, v soft tannins.
Overall, surprising and not necessarily in a good way. Lack of acidity? Will compare to Cantemerle. (3070 views) | | | Tasted by cdimaro on 1/26/2022 & rated 89 points: Quite rustic and direct, good fruit concentration, slight herbaceous finish, not the most polished tannins, nevertheless enjoyable as a whole. (2755 views) | | | Tasted by Mr. Elephant Jr. Jr. the III on 11/26/2020 & rated 89 points: Good but not very interesting.
Strawberry and cherry
Some smoke.
Most likely needs some age but will be passing on additional bottles. (4540 views) | | | Tasted by DanR on 9/5/2020 & rated 92 points: Incredible young CP, still a baby. Huge potential. By-the-case buy (4598 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 1/28/2020 & rated 89 points: Bu en succ.
Y'a pas mal de beaux petits Bordeaux sur 2016
mais leur prix encore une fois!
Celui-ci est ample et dense, un peu de bois,
du tabac et du chocolat avec de la cerise.
Les tannins sont charnus et la finale assez longue.
Bien. (6830 views) | | | Tasted by Poujeaux on 11/28/2019 & rated 90 points: Very nice fruit in this vintage. Will be interesting to see how it develops. (5670 views) | | | Tasted by Hampe on 11/4/2019 & rated 89 points: Misstog blint för en fin gamay med sötaktig doft och viss strävhet. (3035 views) | | | Tasted by rikipedia on 10/23/2019 & rated 88 points: Bordeaux 2016 (Wine Cellar): In 2008 this estate was purchased by Cuvelier family, owners of Leoville Poyferre and they have taken a more modern approach to the winemaking. blend is: 50% CS; 40% Mer; 10% CF. the altitude of vineyards is 25asl
The nose offered plenty of stewed black plum and blackberry along with dried herbs and other secondary elements: star anise, bitter chocolate (or rather cocoa nibs). On the palate the wine was challenging with crisp, lemon-edged acidity, formidable tannins, foursquare in structure (I wrote square-jawed!), plenty of extracts and the flavour moved from Bovril, meat stock through to blackberry and red apple. Needs bags of time to open up but has the fruit to achieve this. (3569 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 9/21/2019 & rated 93 points: Kicking off with a touch of oak, the deeply colored wine offers black raspberries, licorice, smoke and tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied with ripe, soft tannins and plenty of juicy fruit in the finish. (5609 views) | | | Tasted by E94flu on 9/14/2019 & rated 92 points: Red berries in the nose. Taste of cedar, chocolate in a very nice way. Opens up after decanting. Still very tanninic. Expecting nice development....

| Château Poujeaux Producer website - Read more about Chateau PoujeauxRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanMédoc Vins du Médoc (Conseil des Vins du Médoc) - Read More about the Medoc

The eight precisely defined appellations of the whole of the Médoc (from Blanquefort Brook to the north of the Bordeaux built-up area, almost to the Pointe de Grave) may claim the Médoc appellation. But there is also a specific territory in the north of the peninsula which produces exclusively wines with this appellation. In the great majority, the Médocs come from the north of the peninsula. The great individuality of this region is that the number of vines has increased more recently here than elsewhere, apart from a few isolated spots where vines have grown for many years. Today, the size of the small estate has brought about the development of a powerful co-operative movement. Four co-operatives out of five belong to the group called Unimédoc which ensures aging, bottling and marketing a large proportion of their wines. |
