Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Gorgeous stuff and certainly one of the gems in the vintage, the 2003 Château Léoville Poyferré reveals a healthy ruby/plum hue with no signs of bricking. Ripe currants, sappy tobacco, cedar pencil, and minty herbs all define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a layered, round, lush texture. Its tannins are soft and beautifully integrated, and it has terrific balance and a gorgeous finish.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Léoville Poyferré, a Second Grand Cru Classé, is a jewel of the Saint-Julien appellation in the heart of the Médoc. Its history is intertwined with that of the great Léoville estate, of which it was once a part. The Cuvelier family, owners for several generations, has breathed new life into the estate, propelling this cru to qualitative heights. Today, Sara Lecompte Cuvelier manages the family estate with passion, dedicated to revealing the unique expression of this exceptional terroir. The wines of Léoville Poyferré are distinguished by their aromatic richness and balance, offering a consistently high-quality tasting experience. One discovers aromas of ripe black fruits, delicately roasted notes, and a velvety texture on the palate. Le Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré offers a different interpretation of the terroir, while Château Moulin Riche completes the range. A fine illustration of the excellence of Saint-Julien wines, whose history tells us that in the 18th century, the Marquis de Léoville hosted the greatest personalities of the era at his table, a testament to the prestige of his wines. The estate notably works with appellations such as Second Growths, which consistently extend its signature.
