Description
With origins dating back to 1638, Léoville was the largest vineyard in the Médoc region at the time of the French Revolution.
Léoville Poyferré springs from various divisions and successions in 1840. Its outstanding quality wines gained early recognition when it was ranked 2nd Growth in the 1855 classification. Château Léoville Poyferré was acquired in 1920 by the Cuvelier family.
The various divisions throughout the history of the estate have split the vineyard of Léoville Poyferré into five large areas. They include all the main types of gravelly soil present in Saint Julien. This diversity contributes to the amplitude and complexity of the Léoville Poyferré wines.

Tasting
Eye : This Saint-Julien has an intense garnet colour with purple tints and is very fluid in the glass, with fine tears. The colour is brilliant and clear.
Nose : After a good airing, the nose opens up and reveals its subtle and greedy fragrances: black cherry, blackberry, and a delicate and well-integrated woodiness. We also perceive delicate scents of liquorice, which bring a very pleasant touch of freshness.
Palate : the attack is lively and then evolves into a much more greedy and fleshy substance, with an admirable balance. The tannins are fine and racy, the aromatics remain marked by black fruits, the delicate woodiness. The finish is harmonious and fresh.
An exquisite, complete and refined Saint-Julien.
