There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2017 Branas Grand Poujeaux has quite a high-toned and more ostentatious nose compared to previous bottles with exuberant blue and black cherry fruit, hints of mocha coming through with time. The palate is fleshy and ripe, velvety smooth with a caressing, texture. Pure red fruit laced with white pepper and clove, this gently fans out on the finish. This appears to be meliorating in bottle - one to watch. Tasted at the Branas Grand Poujeaux vertical at the château.

Aromas of blueberry and cassis here with light herbs and some oak spice adding interest. The palate is succulent and juicy with a smooth and layered build of fine tannin. Drink or hold.

An outstanding effort that’s well worth seeking out, the 2017 Chateau Branas Grand Poujeaux comes from an 11.35-hectare vineyard near the town of Moulis-en-Medoc and is 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot, raised in 60% new barrels. It has a more modern style in its ripe cassis and black cherry fruits and is medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and leans on its ripe, sexy fruit. It’s a beautiful wine and I suspect will be a great value as well. Drink bottles any time over the coming 10-12 years.

A blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Branas Grand Poujeaux has a deep garnet color. It is a little closed to start, unfurling to offer fragrant notes of black raspberries, kirsch, and juicy blackberries, followed by wafts of tar, roses, and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing, bright and breezy, delivering fine-grained tannins and a lively line, finishing with a quiet intensity.
