Two big names, and a neighbour
No classified growths in Moulis or Listrac, but châteaux that enthusiasts know.
Poujeaux
Château Poujeaux, on the Grand-Poujeaux gravel mound: a fine wine for laying down.
Chasse-Spleen
Château Chasse-Spleen: firmer when young, a name with a story to tell.
Clarke, in Listrac
Château Clarke, owned by the Edmond de Rothschild family: a firmer Listrac, for waiting.
What makes a Moulis
The smallest of the Médoc's six village appellations, in the middle of the peninsula, inland. Gravel at Grand-Poujeaux, clay and limestone elsewhere. Cabernet sauvignon and merlot. No château here was classified in 1855: prices stay at cru bourgeois level, for wines that age like classified growths.
See also the Haut-Médoc wines and the Margaux wines, close by.
What to serve it with
- A Moulis eight years old or more: game (which wine with game), lamb (which wine with lamb).
- A younger Moulis: rib of beef (which wine with beef), duck breast (which wine with duck).
- With cheese: hard cheeses (which wine with cheese).
Which Moulis for which occasion
For a wedding or a company meal, a wine for laying down at a party price (which Bordeaux for a wedding). For a birthday, the birth year (birth-year vintage).
Are there classified growths in Moulis?
No. The 1855 classification included no château from Moulis. Poujeaux and Chasse-Spleen were long among the crus bourgeois exceptionnels.
Moulis or Listrac?
Two small neighbouring appellations, in the middle of the Médoc. Listrac, higher and more limestone, gives firmer wines; Moulis, with its Grand-Poujeaux gravels, finer wines. The table shows them together: Château Clarke is the Listrac on the price list.
How long should you keep a Moulis?
Six to twenty years for Poujeaux or Chasse-Spleen, a little longer in a great year. The table applies this rule to each line; it isn't a tasting note.
Are the prices shown the prices on the quote?
They are the indicative prices from the price list, incl. VAT, per bottle of the format, excluding delivery. The quote confirms the price, the availability of each vintage and shipping; the delivery scale gives the lead times. For a Moulis or a vintage missing from the table, the quote request is still open.
