Château Léoville Poyferré

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 1988.

The Château Léoville Poyferré 1988, Second Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien, is a classic vintage that reflects the quality and elegance of this emblematic Domaine. Made mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon, with contributions from Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, this wine expresses the finesse of the gravelly, clayey soils that characterize the appellation.

The 1988 vintage, marked by a stable growing season and harvesting under ideal conditions, produced a structured wine with good acidity, perfect for long ageing. Carefully vinified in stainless steel vats to pRéserver preserve the freshness of the fruit, the wine was then aged in new barrels, developing complex aromas and a silky texture.

On tasting, this vintage offers evolved notes of ripe black fruit, cedar, leather and undergrowth, testifying to its maturity.

Available in imperfect

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
