Chateau Leoville Poyferre Saint Julien, 75cl

Château Léoville Poyferré is a spectacular Second Growth of Saint-Julien, widely celebrated for its remarkable consistency. Under the ownership of the Cuvelier family and the technical direction of Sara Lecompte Cuvelier, the estate has become a benchmark for modern Bordeaux excellence. In the historic 2022 vintage, Léoville Poyferré has produced a wine of massive concentration and structural integrity. Despite the intense summer heat, the estate’s deep gravel soils and precise water management allowed the vines to yield small, flavour-packed berries. The result is a monumental Saint-Julien that balances the “solar” power of the vintage with a surprising, limestone-driven freshness and a signature creamy texture.

Tasting Notes:

Serving Suggestions:
