2021 Château Branas Grand Poujeaux, Moulis-en-Médoc

2021 Château Branas Grand Poujeaux, Moulis-en-Médoc

Tasted April 2022. Rich, powerful, and inky with concentration of blackberry, raspberry, pepper, and dark chocolate flavours. Spicy, clove notes from 50% new oak. There’s a real lift and elegance to this to carry that generosity, possibly from some careful use of whole bunch fermentation. It finishes long, with saline flavours balancing the richness of this seriously impressive Moulis.

Tasting notes

The 2021 Branas Grand Poujeaux is a serious wine, especially within the context of the year. Black cherry, mocha, new leather, licorice, menthol and coffee give the 2021 notable depth and textural resonance. All the elements are very nicely balanced. Tasted two times.
