2019 Château Léoville Poyferré Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé

The 2019 Léoville Poyferré has a deep garnet purple colour and bursts from the glass with seductive notes of chocolate covered cherries, blueberry tart, dried mulberries and blackcurrant syrup plus suggestions of camphor, espresso, spice cake and tea. It is medium to full bodied on the palate with good freshness with blackberry preserves and exotic spice layers. An already incredibly impressive wine that will only amplify the beautiful fruit once the tannins have settled after the end of barrel ageing.

In the heart of the Médoc, Château Léoville Poyferré has always been one of the most prestigious wine estates. Once upon a time, there was a single estate called Léoville, which was famous throughout the region. Over the course of its history, it has come into the possession of various families through heirs and major events. In 1865, the estate came into the hands of the bankers Baron d'Erlanger and Armand Lalande. They had to deal with setbacks, in the form of phylloxera and mildew epidemics. Today, the château belongs to the Cuvelier family. They have invested heavily since the 1980s with extraordinary results. The château is now one of the top estates in Saint-Julien.
