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.
The Château Léoville Poyferré 2008, Second Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien, is an emblematic wine of the appellation, appreciated for its velvety texture, elegance and remarkable ageing potential. Under the direction of Didier Cuvelier and with the advice of Michel Rolland, Domaine has undergone a spectacular transformation since the 1980s, putting quality at the heart of its production.
Made from a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, this 2008 vintage boasts a purple color with violet highlights and a complex nose combining red and black fruits, spices, coffee and undergrowth.
