2007 Ch. Léoville-Poyferré, St Julien

Ch. Leoville-Poyferre, St Julien
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.

Ch. Leoville-Poyferre, St Julien
Deep purple-red, nose of freshly crushed berry fruit, clear and clean and great purity of expression, full of charm yet fine length and balance.

"Pretty high volatility. Light, slightly powdery nose. Light fruit and a bit chewy and astringent on the finish. Sweetness on the front palate - far from classic dry claret! Slightly pinched finish but quite elegant - the right approach for the vintage."  (Jancis Robinson – www.jancisrobinson.com – Apr 08)
