Tasting notes
The 2015 Branas Grand Poujeaux has a well defined bouquet with vivid red berry fruit, cedar, mint and sage, covering with aeration, meat juice aromas discretely developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp acidity, a little ferrous towards the finish that is focused and feels sustained in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted at the Branas Grand Poujeaux vertical at the château.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Sweet start and very glamorous. Hugely ambitious. Masses of structure. Long and exciting. GV (JR)
This tiny estate managed by the Onclin family has produced and beautiful 2015 Château Branas Grand Poujeaux based on 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Petit Verdot. It has terrific notes of raspberry and cassis, lots of spice, medium-bodied richness, and a rounded, supple, beautifully balanced style on the palate. It’s another terrific wine in the vintage that delivers the goods. Drink it anytime over the coming 10-15 years.
Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Branas Grand Poujeaux is often one of the finest Moulis wines and this vintage is no different. It has a gorgeous bouquet of mulberry, dried herbs and cedar, very well defined with plenty of fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin, well-judged acidity, very harmonious with a plush finish that belies the structure underneath. Excellent (again) from this Moulis estate. Tasted September 2017.
