Overview
Château Granins Grand Poujeaux AOC Moulis-en-Médoc benefits from its prestigious location on the Grand Poujeaux plateau, a terroir celebrated for producing refined and expressive Médoc wines. Since its acquisition by Château Branas in 2020, the estate has maintained its distinct identity, continuing to craft elegant wines that balance tradition with modern winemaking techniques. This wine undergoes a carefully controlled maturation of 10 months in French oak barrels, employing a blend of new, second, and third-fill casks to enhance complexity and finesse.
Tasting Notes
The wine offers a harmonious expression of its terroir, shaped by 30% maturation in new French oak, complemented by 40% in second-fill and 30% in third-fill barrels. This ageing process lends subtle oak nuances without overpowering the core fruit character, resulting in a polished palate with refined tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. Château Granins Grand Poujeaux reveals delicate layers of dark berries, supported by a nuanced oak influence and balanced acidity, showcasing the elegance typical of Moulis-en-Médoc.
