Owned by the Cuvelier family, Château Leoville Poyferre extends across 60ha of land composed of sandy-clay subsoil with terraces of Mindel gravel. The average age of the vines being 37 years old, this wine, a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, was aged for 18 - 20 months in French oak barrels, traditionally racked, fining with egg white.
Tasting Notes:
“Powerful, seductive, sexy and balanced, this has tension right from the start, coiled textured tannins that have grip, salinity and vibrancy. Creamy damson, blackberry and smoked vanilla pod expand through the mid palate. I loved it En Primeur but it has improved since and this is an upscore from the 96 points I gave it at my last tasting. Harvest September 22 to October 11. 80% new oak.” Score: 97 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, July 2021
Serving Suggestions:
Pairs well with beef, lamb, game and poultry dishes.
