Generous and extrovert, it's one of the commune's flashier, more modern-styled wines, without losing its Bordelais identity. 90\/100 Parker Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday Branas Grand Poujeaux amounts to some 23 hectares, having doubled in size by the incorporation of a contiguous neighbor. The estate's highly morcellated holdings are dotted around the plateau of Grand Poujeaux on deep gravel soils and are planted with some 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Directed by Arjen Pen, with veteran Right Bank winemaker Hubert de Boüard as consultant, the estate's style is rich and dramatic, framed by a generous but nicely integrated patina of new oak that mark these out as among the more impactful wines in Moulis. In the vineyards, new plantings are at high density and soils are mechanically cultivated, without pesticides since 2002. Malolactic occurs in barrel, some 50% of which are new.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePairs well with\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeef, Lamb and Venison\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southwick Court Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46112280182937,"sku":null,"price":408.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9719\/2857\/files\/hun.jpg?v=1703072140","url":"https:\/\/southwickwines.com\/products\/chateau-branas-grand-poujeaux-2018-12-magnums","provider":"Southwick Court Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
