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 wine has a deep purple color with violet highlights and beautiful brilliance. The nose reveals aromas of blackcurrant and raspberry, accompanied by notes of oak, blond tobacco, and graphite, with a subtle floral and slightly spicy touch when aerated. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and silky. The tannins are fine but structured, supporting an elegant and balanced body. Ripe black fruit blends with fresh acidity, giving the wine harmony, tension, and depth, faithful to the racy and precise style of Saint-Julien. The finish is long and persistent, with black fruit, noble wood, and smoky nuances, hinting at excellent aging potential.
