Chateau Pouget

Château Pouget is a classified fourth growth estate in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux's Left-Bank Médoc region. The estate has been in the Guillemet family since 1906 and is run by technical director Lucien Guillemet. Guillemet also oversees production at sister estate and neighboring third growth, Château Boyd-Cantenac which has been in the family since 1932. Pouget and Boyd-Cantenac share the same address – and winemaking facilities – in southern Margaux, a stone's from the likes of Château Kirwan to the north and Château Brane-Cantenac to the west.

The estate was classed as a Fourth Growth in the 1855 Classification of the Médoc and Graves. It was acquired by Pierre Cuillemet in 1906 and has remained in the family since then.

The estate's technical director Lucien Guillemet works outside the grand cru umbrella organisation, the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux and, as such, the wines are rarely in the limelight. Reports also indicate that Guillemet prefers to sell the wine domestically and to established clients in the Benelux countries. Along with sister estate, Boyd-Cantenac, the wines continue to fly under the radar compared to their stablemates in the grands crus.
