VINUM (Juni 2011): „Ungemein erfreuliches Muster ganz ohne Holzschminke, im Gegenteil frisch und saftig, geschmeidig und fruchtig, perfekt integrierter Alkohol. Ausgewogen, stiltreu und präzis: wenn das so auf die Flasche kommt, ein Bilderbuch-Poujeaux. Zu trinken 2018 bis 2028.”

René Gabriel, WeinWisser: 18/20 Punkten und Empfehlung „für Sparfüchse mit gutem Geschmack”.

Robert Parker„An undeniable sleeper of the vintage, this may be the finest Poujeaux I have tasted in three decades. A crushed rock/mineral character is intertwined with abundant black currant, blackberry, incense and camphor notes in this full-bodied, unctuously textured, elegant, pure effort. It is capable of lasting 15 years. Kudos to new proprietor Philippe Cuvelier (also the owner of St.-Emilion’s Clos Fourtet) for resurrecting this well-known estate. 90-92 Punkte!”

Neal Martin: „A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the Poujeaux 2010 has a crisp, well defined nose with fresh dark berried fruit, a touch of dark plum and a touch of Hoi Sin. Good definition and lift. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, succulent tannins, quite modern in style but imbued with good tension and focus, this should be a little belter in bottle. 91-93 Punkte!”

DECANTER: „Well-extracted, ripe but compact fruit, good texture, balance and length. Drink 2015-2024. ****”
