2021 Chateau Branas Grand Poujeaux Moulis-en-Medoc

Aroma - Refined and quietly expressive: black cherry, cassis and mulberry, lifted by violet, cedar shavings and a touch of graphite. Subtle mocha and tobacco leaf from well‑judged oak.

Palate - Medium‑bodied, poised and beautifully balanced. Dark berry fruit, plum skin and blackcurrant lead, wrapped in fine, silky tannins. The 2021 vintage’s cooler profile shows in the wine’s freshness — bright acidity, clean lines, and a savoury, mineral undertone. Elegant rather than muscular. Supple tannins, moderate alcohol, and a polished oak frame. Classic Left Bank restraint with modern precision.

Finish - Long, pure and refined, with lingering cassis, cedar and a touch of cocoa.

A beautifully crafted Moulis from a top-performing estate. Fresh, elegant and cassis‑driven, with fine tannins and a refined Médoc structure. A superb claret for those who prefer finesse over power.
