Origin | France, Bordeaux, Saint-Julien |
The 80 hectares of vineyards of Léoville-Poyferré, located in the heart of Saint-Julien, date back to the middle of the 17th century, yet ownership has changed hands five times since. After achieving Second Growth status in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, Léoville-Poyferré has maintained a level of excellence over the course of its lifetime. The Cuvelier family has owned the Château for almost a century, purchasing the estate in 1920. They strive to find harmony between modernity and tradition, combining the latest in technological advances with a dutiful respect for their Bordeaux heritage.

Deep ruby-red. Expressive aromas of plum, currant, game, woodsmoke and tobacco. Denser and sweeter than the '97 or '98; structured but pliant. Finishes quite long, with dusty, very fine tannins nicely buffered by fruit.
