Château Léoville Poyferré produces elegant, very fine, balanced and complex wines, with an intense color and a velvety texture, and which have a very good aging potential.

Castle

The castle was born from the successive divisions of the domain of Léoville which belonged to Alexandre de Gasq in the 1826th century. In 1855 the estate was shared for the first time between Hugh Barton and Jean de Lascases. A few years later, the latter gave his daughter in marriage to the Baron de Poyferré and brought him a dowry of land taken from the family estate, called Léoville-Poyferré. The new cru quickly built a solid reputation which earned it the right to be retained in 1866. In 1920 the estate was bought by Mr. Lalande, whose descendants operated it until XNUMX. It was then sold to the partners of the trading house , H. Cuvelier et fils, which is transformed into a non-trading company, Domaines Cuvelier. When Didier Cuvelier arrives at the helm of the estate, the vintage has lost much of its splendor. In twenty years, he has managed to raise the bar in a masterful way to produce ample and long-keeping wines.

Comments

Despite its fragmentation, the Léoville-Poyferré vineyard benefits from a homogeneity of soil that few Saint-Julien can claim. The vines here rest on fine gravel and wind-blown sand deposits. It benefits from an excellent exposure which allows the Cabernet Sauvignon, of respectable age, to mature in good conditions. However, this potential has not always been fully exploited. Its revival is due to Didier Cuvelier and Michel Rolland, whose complicity is at the origin of very fine vintages. The construction of a new cellar in 1979 allows quality aging. Buoyed by the success, the administrators are now planning an expansion of the vineyard in the coming years. The wine is deep in colour, with a rich substance bursting with very ripe fruit and spices. Its very present woodiness and the strength of its tannins

Castle BEYCHEVELLE 2011
4 Grand Cru Classé Saint Julien Red
Grapes 62% Cabernet Sauvignon 31% Merlot 5% Cabernet Franc 2% Petit Verdot
Second Wine Admiral of Beychevelle

Details Domain

The history of this magnificent castle dates back to the Middle Ages. Under the Counts of Foix-Candale, the wine left the port to go to England, Flanders and the Germanic countries. Under Henry III, Beychevelle was the stronghold of the Dukes of Epernon and especially the first of them, Jean-Louis Nogaret of Valletta, Grand Admiral of France, Governor of Guyenne. Legend has it that all the ships passing in front of the castle lowered their sails in homage to the all-powerful Duke of Epernon. Hence the name of "Baisse Voile" (Beychevelle) and the origin of the arms of the castle: a ship with Griffon prow slackening its sails, the giffon being in Greek mythology, the guardian of the wine crater of Dionysus. Built in the 17th century, rebuilt by the Marquis de Brassier in 1757 and enlarged by the Heine family at the end of the last century, the Beychevelle castle has recently been restored to its original splendor.
