Château Léoville Poyferré
Château Léoville Poyferré is owned by the Cuvelier family, wine merchants in Lille since 1804. Since 1920, they have presided over the destiny of the prestigious Château Léoville Poyferré, 2nd Cru classé in the Saint-Julien appellation, which extends over 80 hectares in the heart of the Médoc.

On this fabulous terroir of Garonne gravel, planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, 20 hectares are devoted to the château's second wine, Château Moulin Riche. The family also owns Château Le Crock, a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in Saint-Estèphe, acquired in 1903. This estate, which receives the same care as Château Léoville Poyferré, is surrounded by the Grands Crus Classés Château Cos d'Estournel and Château Montrose, and comprises 32 hectares of vines. The oldest, best-situated vines produce the grand vin of Château Le Crock, while the others make up the second wine, La Croix Saint-Estèphe.

Thanks to an effective restructuring and modernization program, Didier Cuvelier has succeeded in making Château Léoville Poyferré one of the jewels in the crown of the Saint-Julien appellation. The methods used to produce the wines are all geared towards the same objective of obtaining optimum quality: small yields, ruthlessly sorted manual harvests, vinification supervised by oenologist Michel Rolland, and barrel fermentations are the most significant constraints.

At the helm of the family vineyards since August 1, 2018, and originally from Nord before settling in the before settling in the Rhône, manager Sara Lecompte Cuvelier is committed to the family family business: emotionally, since the Médoc and her summers at Le Crock part of her childhood memories, and professionally. professionally. If she left her initial career in in human resources, it's because she was already involved in property decisions as a member of the on the management boards.

"Here is a very solid candidate in the race to the top of the vintage! ~ La RVF "

"Léoville-Poyferré 2015 is spectacular. Inky, dense and explosive, this 2015 possesses uncommon richness, with supple, smooth contours and exceptional balance. All the elements are simply fused. Notes of blue and purplish fruits, chocolate, new leather, blueberry jam, exotic spices and violets are all beautifully underlined. Fresh, vibrant and totally sexy, Léoville-Poyferré is one of the wines of the vintage, so don't miss it!

"Extremely attractive according to Vinous!"

"Léoville Poyferré's bouquet sets the stage from the outset. It's clearly fearless, but knows how to manage itself so as not to reveal everything at once. Thus, it reveals a multitude of nuances with notes of pepper, licorice and red and black berries, as well as classic markers such as graphite and cedar. I also note the subtle alliance between charm and power on the palate. I've often had the impression that you're walking on a tightrope at Poyferré, expecting the whole thing to tip over into sweetness... and yet it's always harmony that prevails. The wine has fine, dense, powdery tannins and, above all, a salutary freshness, perhaps one of the essential keys to a notion of balance. A powerful, serene, deep and long wine. In short, a great wine " (Yves Beck 2022).

Château Léoville-Poyferré's youngest and new second wine, succeeding Moulin Riche, is made from the estate's youngest vines. It's a pleasurable wine to enjoy in its youth for its fruitiness and suppleness, typical of the Saint-Julien appellation.
