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

Castle

The castle was born from the successive divisions of the Léoville estate which belonged in the 1826th century to Alexandre de Gasq. 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 Baron de Poyferré and brought him as a dowry land taken from the family estate, called Léoville-Poyferré. The new vintage quickly built a solid reputation which earned it recognition in 1866. In 1920 the estate was bought by Mr. Lalande, whose descendants exploited it until XNUMX. It was then sold to the partners of the trading house. , H. Cuvelier et fils, which transformed into a civil company, Domaines Cuvelier. When Didier Cuvelier took charge of the estate, the wine had lost much of its splendor. In around twenty years he has masterfully raised the bar to produce full-bodied, long-lasting wines.

Comments

Despite its fragmentation, the Léoville-Poyferré vineyard benefits from a homogeneity of soil that few in Saint-Julien can claim. The vines here rely on fine gravel and deposits of wind-blown sand. It benefits from 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 collusion is at the origin of very fine vintages. The construction of a new cellar in 1979 allows quality breeding. Buoyed by the success, the administrators are now planning an expansion of the vineyard in the coming years. The wine has a deep color, with a rich substance bursting with ripe fruit and spices. Its very present woodiness and the strength of its tannins
