The winery is located in the municipality of Moulis (Moulis-en-Médoc) in the area of the same name in the Médoc (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). Until the beginning of the 19th century, the Gressier family owned vineyards called "Grand-Poujeaux". The extensive estate was acquired by the merchant André Castaing in 1806. In 1820, the estate was divided up, resulting in Château Chasse-Spleen, Château Maucaillou, Château Poujeaux and the present Château Gressier Grand-Poujeaux. Château Gressier Grand-Poujeaux is now owned by Héritiers de Saint-Affrique. The vineyards cover 22 hectares and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Petit Verdot (10%). The long-lasting red wine is matured in 100% new barriques.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
