Produced from a selective hand-picked harvest from September 24 to October 10, Léoville Poyferré's 2024 vintage reflects the meticulous work of a committed team at the service of a great family terroir. With yields deliberately controlled at 26.4 hL/ha, this cuvée reveals the quintessence of Cabernet Sauvignon (64%), perfectly accompanied by Merlot (27%), Cabernet Franc (8%) and a touch of Petit Verdot (1%).
Right from the blend, the wine impresses with its racy structure and measured density. On the palate, the balance is based on a precise tannic structure, well-integrated freshness (pH 3.71) and an emerging aromatic complexity, already perceptible in its youth.
Cellar work, combining bioprotection, pre-fermentation cold maceration and malolactic fermentation in barrels, prepares the way for 18 to 20 months' ageing in 80% new oak, designed to refine the grain and magnify the substance.
Château Léoville Poyferré 2024 embodies the typical elegance of the great Saint-Juliens, with promising aromatic intensity, measured tension and assured ageing potential. It follows in the footsteps of the vintage's great successes.
Harvest dates: September 24 to October 10, 2024
