The winery is located in the municipality of Moulis or the area of the same name in the Médoc(Bordeaux). It was last classified as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel in 2003 in the Bordeaux classification according to the old system, which is no longer valid. A Monsieur Dutruch had the château built in the 19th century. In 1967, it was sold by Mr Lambert to his relative François Cordonnier, who then passed it on to his nephew Jean-Baptiste in 1993. The vineyards cover 25 hectares and are planted with Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (45%) and Petit Verdot (5%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 12 months in barriques, half of which are new. Other wines are produced under the names "La Barnède-Grand Poujeaux" and "La Gravière-Grand Poujeaux".
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
