All Merlot, from one of Bordeaux's great modern vintages, and now twenty-six years down the road. Chateau Poupille sits on south-facing clay-limestone slopes in Castillon, just east of Saint-Emilion, and Philippe Carrille is the fifth generation of his family to farm it; he later took the estate to organic certification in 2008. The 2000 vintage handed the right bank a near-perfect September for Merlot, producing wines that were ripe and round but with more acidity than usual underneath — the reason they have held up so well. This is drinking at full maturity now: the tannins have softened out, the fruit has gone savory, and there is nothing to be gained by waiting. Decant gently to leave the sediment in the bottle.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb, duck confit, mushroom risotto, or aged Comte and Mimolette. Equally good with roast chicken and braised onions.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied and mature: dried cherry and plum, tobacco, forest floor, a hint of cedar. Soft resolved tannins, fresh acidity, savory finish.
