CHATEAU POUJEAUX 1998 DOUBLE MAGNUM 3 LITER

Château Poujeaux 1998 – Double Magnum (3L)

Moulis-en-Médoc, Bordeaux, France

Château Poujeaux 1998 in Double Magnum is a beautifully mature expression of this respected Médoc estate, offering classic structure, complexity, and the added refinement that comes from extended aging in large format.

The Wine

Located in Moulis-en-Médoc, Château Poujeaux is known for producing wines of balance and authenticity, with a blend typically led by Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

The 1998 vintage, now fully mature, showcases the evolution of Bordeaux at its peak drinking window. The Double Magnum format (3L) has allowed the wine to age more slowly and gracefully, preserving freshness while developing tertiary complexity.

Tasting Notes

The nose is evolved and elegant, with aromas of dried blackcurrant, plum, and cassis, complemented by notes of cedar, tobacco, leather, and earthy nuances.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with softened tannins and a harmonious structure. Mature fruit flavours are interwoven with hints of spice, graphite, and forest floor.

The finish is long, smooth, and refined, with lingering notes of dried fruit, spice, and gentle oak.
