Alcohol

This cru is the
smallest Grand Cru Classé from 1855 with only 10ha of vineyard. The average age
of the vines is 42 years and they are situated on the plateau of Cantenac. The
chateau gets its name from François-Antoine Pouget, who was director of the cru
in 1748. The marshall emperor Richeleu gave away the shield that can still be
seen on the label of Ch. Pouget nowadays. This chateau belongs to the Guillemet
family since 1906. Lucien Guillemet (ex Ch. Giscours) does the vinification. He
is a very good wine maker and makes a beautiful wine on both Ch. Pouget and Ch.
Boyd Cantenac, even in difficult millésimes. Mr. Guillemet follows his own
style and he doesn’t need any other advisors or gurus. Since 2015, the chateau
has a new shape of bottle with a new label.
