Château Léoville Poyferré

Synonymous with aromatic finesse and elegance, Château Léoville Poyferré lies to the north of the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation. It was created in 1840 following the various divisions of Domaine de Léoville, and became the property of Baron de Poyferré, who added his name to it.

It was crowned Second Grand Cru Classé in the prestigious 1855 classification. The Cuvelier family, wine merchants, acquired it in 1920. For 40 years, Didier Cuvelier has led the restructuring of the vineyard, respecting the environment and the terroir. His cousin Sara Lecompte Cuvelier took over the reins in 2018. 

The vineyard covers 58 hectares of vines, planted with 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet franc. The wines are aged entirely in oak barrels, 80% of which are new, over a period of 18 to 20 months.

Le Pavillon de Poyferré, Second wine of Domaine, is made mainly from Merlot. 

The Château Léoville Poyferré is a sublime wine, offering plenty of power and body without losing its subtlety.

Description Château Léoville Poyferré 2022.

Wine review by professional critic J. Dunnuck rated 100/100

“This inky hued beauty offers that rare mix of power and elegance and offers ample cassis and assorted blue fruits, full-bodied richness, an opulent, concentrated, yet flawlessly balanced mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and plenty of classic Saint-Julien violets, espresso roast, and crushed stone-like minerality.

Despite its incredible concentration and depth, it stays beautifully balanced.

In a region that seems to only talk about finesse and elegance, it's a relief to still have producers such as this producing powerful, intense, singular wines.

Hats off to the Cuvelier family and their team.”

Wine review by professional critic J. Leve "The Wine Cellar Insider" rated 99/100

“Deeply colored, the floral display in the nose gets even better as you encounter black cherries, currants, licorice, tobacco leaf, cassis, and an array of spices.

The palate provides layers of silky, fresh, pure, deep red berries.

The wine is dense, concentrated, sweet, ripe, fresh, and polished.

There is a wonderful sense of purity in the fruit.

Effortless to taste, and even even easier to drink, the wine exudes sensuality, and complexity from start to finish".
