Tasting notes
The 2015 Poitevin is a blend of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. It has a vivid bright bouquet with blackberry, graphite and cedar aromas, great vigor here, very focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, very harmonious with a poised and elegant finish that is top-grade. Excellent. Tasted at the Oenoconseil tasting room in Bordeaux.

The 2015 Château Poitevin is a beauty made from the Poitevin Family’s estate located far up in the northern part of the Médoc. It offers lots of plum and black cherry fruits, notes of tobacco leaf, medium body, and a plump, layered, pure style. Drink it over the coming decade.
Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Chateau Poitevin has a delightful, perfumed bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and a touch of incense. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very pure and feminine with a caressing, blueberry and cassis-tinged finish. Bon vin! This is by far and away the best wine that I have tasted from this Médoc estate. Tasted September 2017.
50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot. Good fruit definition and ripeness, very well coiffured tannic feel, and a dark savoury liquorice intensity on the length. Good, hearty stuff. GV (RH)
