Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Reminding me of the 2018 (as well as the 2009), if not slightly more concentrated, the 2022 Château Léoville Poyferré is one of the most opulent and flamboyant wines out of the Médoc in 2022, and it has incredible intensity while staying light on its feet and graceful. Its dense, glass-staining purple hue is followed by a sensational perfume of crème de cassis, graphite, darker chocolate, scorched earth, and flowers. Full-bodied on the palate, it brings extravagant levels of fruit as well as a seamless mouthfeel, beautifully integrated oak, tannins, and acidity, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish. It shines even today, yet it has beautiful underlying structure and will evolve gracefully over the coming 30+ years. The 2022 is based on 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 4% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged 18-20 months in 80% new oak.

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.
