Château Léoville Poyferré
On Saint‑Julien’s gravelly rises, where the Médoc is written in straight lines, Château Léoville Poyferré speaks with a more contemporary accent. Born from the 1840 division of the original Léoville estate, it was ranked in 1855 as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé; since 1920 the Cuvelier family has shaped its direction.
A broad patchwork of plots—deep graves, clay‑sand seams and cooler pockets—allows decisions to be made parcel by parcel. Precise picking, gentle extraction and exacting barrel work connect tradition with modern craft, from fermentation choices to the final blend.
The style aims for controlled density and polished texture: Cabernet Sauvignon as the spine, Merlot for breadth, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot adding lift and structure. Poyferré turns Saint‑Julien into elegance with momentum, built to evolve rather than to shout.Château Léoville Poyferré
