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.
The 2015 Léoville Poyferré is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. The wine displays a wonderful floral complexity with notes of lilac, violet and lavender balanced beautifully by a lovely concentration of cassis and blackberry fruits. On the palate the wine is juicy and silky with a fabulous interplay of ripeness, texture and freshness. There is enough depth and structure to improve over the next 20 years with proper cellaring.
