Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2015 Leoville Poyferre is cut from the same cloth as the 2016, yet is more sexy, rounded and opulent. Notes of cassis, licorice, crushed rocks, lead pencil shavings and graphite all emerge from this unctuous, ripe, pedal-to-the-metal beauty that's absolutely loaded with fruit and texture. Reminding me of the 2003, yet only fresher, don't miss this beauty. It should be drinkable in 3-4 years and last for 3-4 decades. The blend of the 2015 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc.

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.
