Professionele reviews

James Suckling (93)

A touch of mineral and olives to the fresh blue fruit and blackberries. Perfumed, juicy and very tight-grained on the palate with almost full body and plenty of nicely chewy tannins. Structured and compact in a lengthy finish. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Better after 2027.

Vinous (93)

The 2022 Branas Grand Poujeaux, which includes 5% aged in amphora, is a little more sultry on the nose than expected. It has fine delineation, though, with tobacco-infused black fruit, light incense and sea spray scents unfolding in the glass. It’s very subtle. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine weight and a dash of cracked black pepper, building with a classically styled and quite sapid finish. This is excellent.

Jeb Dunnuck (92)

Cassis, graphite, classy oak, and violet notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Branas Grand Poujeaux, a richly textured, medium to full-bodied, concentrated Moulis that has beautiful tannins, integrated background oak, and a great finish. It needs 4-5 years in the cellar and will unquestionably put a smile on your face over the following 10-12+ years.

Falstaff (93)

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Attractive dark berryish fruit, fresh cherries, floral underpinned bouquet, spicy nuances. Taut, complex, fresh, integrated, supporting tannins, mineral, cherries and nougat on the finish. Shows certain ageing potential, a versatile food wine.
