"The 2010 Poyeux has not yet closed down for a period of hibernation and consequently the wine is absolutely singing with youthful exuberance at present. The bouquet soars from the glass in a pure and nascently complex blend of cherries, a touch of pomegranate, cocoa powder, cigar wrapper, gentle notes of menthol and vanillin oak and a glorious base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with simply superb, seamless balance, a great core of sappy fruit, stellar transparency, suave tannins and impeccable focus and grip on the long and oh, so promising finish. This will be a very red fruity vintage of Poyeux and should prove to be one of the very finest here in the last quarter century."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
