Château Léoville-Poyferré

Château Léoville-Poyferré

Chateau Leoville Poyferre began its modern history in the 1920s when it became the property of the Cuvelier family. They, like many other owners of the chateau, began in 1804 as negosinati. A major change came from Didier Cuvelier, a nearly 20-year-old vineyard replanting program that began in 1979. The 60 hectares of vines in Saint Julien are planted with 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Leoville Poyferre wine offers a rich ripe fruit and soft strength style. Aromas of blackcurrant, spices, truffles and tobacco in combination with a sensual and rich structure are specific to this wine. Since 2000, Leoville Poyferre has maintained a stable and high quality. In fact, they have so many wonderful harvests that it is difficult to make a choice. You can enjoy it while it is younger, but with a few hours of decanting, and it is best to wait 10-15 years after bottling.
