Vinous Tasting Note

(73% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot and 6% petit verdot) Deep ruby. Pure, pretty aromas of cassis, black cherry, minerals, violet and licorice. A rich, ripe, sweet midweight with lovely fruit and texture. Quite broad and chocolatey on the back end, with the slightly chunky tannins arriving late. Plenty of structure here.

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.
