Château Léoville Poyferré 2019
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 2019.
2ème Grand Cru Classé de St-Julien, Château Léoville Poyferré, thanks to its unique terroir, never ceases to produce wines of excellence. With its deep, brilliant garnet color, the wine boasts an intense, complex nose. Subtle aromas of ripe red fruit, roasted coffee and vanilla mingle. On the palate, the wine is powerful and warm. Precise, finely chiselled tannins support rich aromas. The tasting concludes with a persistent finish of great purity. No doubt this wine will gain even more finesse and complexity with time.
