The winery is located in the commune of Moulis (Moulis-en-Médoc) in the area of the same name in the Médoc(Bordeaux). It was last classified as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in the Bordeaux classification according to the old system, which is no longer valid, in 2003. The vineyards have been known as "Salles de Poujeaux" since the 16th century and were owned by the same owner as Château Latour. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the Gressier family owned this part of the 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 Gressier Grand-Poujeaux, Château Maucaillou and Château Poujeaux. In 1880, the estate in question was divided into three parts.
I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
