Château Léoville Poyferré

Château Léoville Poyferré was the Léoville that got left in the starting blocks in terms of reputation and in the quality of its wines.

Léoville Poyferré has been owned by the Cuvelier family (who also own Château Le Crock) since 1921, yet it was not until the 1970s, when Didier Cuvelier took control at the château, that quality began to improve. In the last 20 years, Didier, with the assistance of Michel Rolland since 1995, has turned Léoville-Poyferré into one of St-Julien's finest estates.

Léoville Poyferré has 80 hectares of vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (25%), Petit Verdot (8%) and Cabernet Franc (2%).

Léoville Poyferré traditionally produced the softest and most supple wine of the 3 Léovilles, yet in the last decade the wines have definitely put on weight and body. This is largely due to the grapes being harvested riper and later and because of the increased exposure to new oak in the maturation process.

Now up with the best of the St-Juliens but still selling at non-scary prices. Léoville Poyferré is classified as a 2ème Cru Classé.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Helped by a 98 point Parker rating for its 2003, Léoville-Poyferré is finally getting the credit it deserves. Didier Cuvelier calls 2007 a great restaurant vintage - like 1999 but better made - but this feels like excessive modesty for a wine of this class. Intensely concentrated, minerally and stylish, it is clearly one of the wines of the vintage. A serious, fragrant nose leads on to a precise, complex palate with finely tuned, supple tannins, generous blackberry and kirsch fruit and mocha and leather hints. This is another great success from the most underrated member of the Léoville clan. MORE Drink: 2014 -2025 . BBR Score: 17/20. Jancis Score: 16/20. Decanter Score: 17.5/20.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc. For a long time this estate was a poor relation of the Léoville clan, however, improvements in quality have been noticeable since the early 1990s. This year looks set to become a real success for Poyferré. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, with the dominant variety's creamy cassis character very evident on the nose. This is a focused and well-defined wine with gorgeous pure fruit flavours, fresh acidity and firm tannins in perfect harmony. A very classically-styled St Julien. MORE BBR Score: 18/20.

"The feminine nose of this fantastic Poyferré gives way to a palate with an intriguing savoury edge and perfectly balanced acidity and weight. It is full bodied and fleshy at first yet gives way to a streamlined, fresh finish. This 2006 is definitely worth a look." Drink 2016-2030.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13.5% alc. "Very promising, elegant and rich" (Wines of the Year - Highly Recommended 4/5 Stars- Decanter Nov 08) Didier Cuvelier has made an absolutely brilliant wine at Léoville Poyferré this year. The voluminous fruit of the vintage really complements Poyferré's style. This is all black cherries and raspberries with hints of cedar, but at an intensity never seen before in this wine. Like so many of the top châteaux in 2005 this starts in quite a restrained manner but then grows and grows until the flavours seem to explode in your mouth. And as for the finish, well, that just goes on and on. The breed and elegance here is amazing. MORE Drink: 2014 -2030 . BBR Score: 18.5/20. Parker Score: 93 /100.
