1990er Chateau Branas Grand Poujeaux Moulis Bordeaux France
38,90 €/0,75l - 51,87 €/L the wine cellar insider schreibt: Chateau Branas Grand-Poujeaux History, Overview
The modern age for Chateau Branas Grand-Poujeaux starts in 2002, when Justin Onclin and Carmen Onclin-Paqueron purchased the estate from Jacques Pourquery. The Pourquery family had owned the vineyard since they bought it in back in 1963.
Chateau Branas Grand-Poujeaux shares the name of Poujeaux with 6 other chateaux placed in the appellation of Moulis. The chateaux all use a similar name, due to their location in the area not far from the Grand Poujeaux vineyard.
At the time of the purchase, the estate and its vineyards were in poor condition, requiring complete renovations and modernizations in the cellar and chateau along with extensive replantings in the vineyards.
In 2006, one of the first decisions made by Justin Onclin was to replace Michel Rolland with the team of Stephane Derenoncourt. This changed in 2012 when they brought in Hubert de Bouard.
Today they are a modern, completely gravity based cellar. In the Right Bank, Justin Onclin also owns Chateau Villemaurine in the St. Emilion appellation.
