Francois-Antoine Pouget inherited Chateau Pouget in 1748. His daughter Claire maried Pierre-Antoine de Chavailles in 1771. Over one and a half centuries, the Pouget De Chavailles family was in charge of Chateau Pouget. They had sometimes to face difficulties, as when, during the French Revolution, their properties were requisitioned, but they also met with great success, as Chateau Pouget was classified as a fourth Cru Classe in 1855.

The chateau itself used to be a cellar, its front portion was turned into a house during the second half of the 19th century. Two marble medaillons on the frontage of the house commemorate the different classifications of Chateau Pouget. Chateau Pouget is the epitome of Margaux wine, a rarely-found combination of depth and finesse, delicious red and black fruit, grace and style of perfectly ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a classic Margaux, effortlessly combining finesse and substance. At Chateau Pouget particular attention is paid to the harvesting date, with the aim of picking grapes that have reached optimum ripeness. The grapes are sorted both in the vineyard and at the winery, and express all the finesse of this great terroir.
