More information
A family estate since 1852, Château Haut Pougnan lies in the gently rolling hills of the Entre-Deux-Mers, just across the river Garonne from the famous names of the Right Bank. On their 34-hectare property, in Saint Genès de Lombaud, Merlot is the star grape, with Cabernet Sauvignon in a supporting role with a little Cabernet Franc, all ripening well on the southeast-facing slopes. In cooler, west-facing vineyards, the estate grows Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle to make a fine classic white. 2019 was an exceptional vintage in Bordeaux with "harmony, balance and freshness" wrote critic James Suckling. Enjoy that charm in this silky, well-ripened claret. Delicious now (open early and decant) or cellar. A treat with roast meats.
