How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inThe 20120 Léoville Poyferré has a deep garnet-purple color and blows from the glass with enticing notes of chocolate-covered cherries, blueberry pie, 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 after the end of the barrel aging when the tannins have been absorbed will enhance the beautiful fruit even more.
In the heart of the Médoc, Château Léoville Poyferré has always been one of the most prestigious wineries. There was once a single domain named Léoville that was famous throughout the region. Throughout history, it has come into the possession of different families through heirs and major events. In 1865 the domain came into the hands of the bankers Baron d'Erlanger and Armand Lalande. They had to contend with setbacks in the form of phylloxera and mildew epidemics. Today the castle belongs to the Cuvelier family. They have invested enormously since the 1980s with extraordinary results. The château is today one of the top within Saint-Julien.
FACT: In the Tab: Appendix you will find the official fact sheet of this fine wine. We will automatically send it to you when you order this wine. It is worth mentioning that we buy the wines directly and never purchase them through the intermediary because we do not know what journeys the wine has made and how it has been treated. The wines come from the cellars of the Chateau directly into our conditioned Warehouse in Dordrecht where all our wines are stored. If you come to pick it up, you will often also receive a nice discount.

Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Léoville Poyferré comes bounding out of the glass like an energetic young pup, delivering exuberant scents of crushed black cherries, juicy blackberries and warm cassis, with hints of ground cloves, dark chocolate, lilacs and tilled soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is wonderfully plush, delivering bags of ripe black fruits with a seamless backbone of acidity, finishing long and spicy.

In the heart of the Médoc, Château Léoville Poyferré has always been one of the most prestigious wineries. There was once a single domain called Léoville that was famous throughout the region. In the course of history it has come into the possession of different families through heirs and major events. In 1865 the domain came into the hands of the bankers Baron d'Erlanger and Armand Lalande. They had to contend with setbacks, in the form of the grape aphid and mildew epidemics. Today the castle belongs to the Cuvelier family. They have invested enormously since the 1980s with extraordinary results. Today the château belongs to the top of the Saint-Julien.
De 2020 Château Léoville Poyferré toont rijp zwart fruit zoals kersen, bramen en cassis, omlijst door viooltjes en fijne tonen van donkere chocolade, kruiden en lichte espresso, met een medium tot volle body, gepolijste tannines en een frisse, lange en kruidige afdronk. Dankzij die structuur en frisse zuurgraad snijdt de wijn prachtig door het vet van rund, lam en wild en versterkt hij de hartige, umami-rijke smaken van stoofgerechten; de rijpe fruitigheid en subtiele chocoladetonen sluiten bovendien goed aan bij geroosterd vlees en rijke sauzen. Bereidingen die extra goed werken zijn langzaam gegaarde stoofpotten en braises zoals short ribs of lamsbout, gegrild vlees met een kort gekaramelliseerde korst, of wildgerechten met jeneverbessen en een ingekookte rode wijnsaus.
