Description

With masses of dense blackcurrants mingling with a violet perfume on the nose, this is a succulent, powerful wine yet with a perfectly counterbalancing freshness from its 65% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 28% Merlot adds the plush texture whilst 7% Petit Verdot gives a darker, brooding, spicy note. 30% of the superb Grand Vin (Léoville-Poyferré) fruit went into the Moulin Riche in 2009, and the influence on its quality is evident.

James Suckling 86-89/100
Aromatic, with raspberry and currant character that follows through to a medium body, with good fruit, firm tannins and a simple finish. Second wine of Léoville-Poyferré. james_suckling - Wine Spectator - Apr 2010

About this wine

Château Léoville Poyferré

Château Léoville Poyferré is a wine estate in St Julien on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. It was once part a larger estate called Léoville, which was established in 1638 and divided up centuries later following the death of its owner. That original estate gave rise to the three separate properties now called Léoville Barton, Léoville Las Cases and Léoville Poyferré. The latter took its name in 1840 from Baron Jean-Marie de Poyferré, who inherited the estate along with his wife, the daughter of Jeanne de Las Cases. Léoville Poyferré, like Barton and Las Cases, was ranked a Second Growth in the 1855 classification.
