CRITICAL ACCLAIM
James Suckling - "Spice and walnut with berry, cherry and some clove. Medium body with creamy, light coffee and milk chocolate. Juicy finish. Delicious already, but better in 2023."
Vinous - "The 2018 Branas Grand Poujeaux is backward but finely detailed on the nose, where precise blackberry and wild strawberry fruit intermingles with briary and, later, cassis and violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, almost understated at first, but it gains depth with aeration and leaves traces of tobacco and tar on the aftertaste. Excellent."
Wine Enthusiast - "One of many fine estates in Moulis that include Poujeaux in their names, this wine is rich. However, it also has a stylish line of ripe tannins and black-currant fruits. The wine is set for further aging, so drink from 2025."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2018 Branas Grand Poujeaux is a heady, exuberant wine. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, spice, mint and mocha lend striking depth and textural resonance as the 2018 shows off its considerable charm. Silky, pliant and creamy, this expressive, mid-weight Moulis-en-Médoc will drink beautifully right out of the gate."
Jeb Dunnuck - "A charming, complex, already delicious Moulis, the 2018 Château Branas Grand Poujeaux gives up a great nose of red and black fruits, flowery incense, lavender, and chocolate. This carries to a medium-bodied, elegant wine with sweet tannins, a rounded, silky texture, and outstanding length. It's going to drink nicely for at least 8-10 years."
