Warm and rich in feel, with layers of steeped plum, fig and blackberry paste flavors cruising along, framed by cocoa notes and backed by a swath of graphite structure on the tar-tinged finish. Shows a bit more heft than purity, but this is rock-solid nonetheless. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2037.
Producer
Château Léoville Poyferré
A longstanding Saint-Julien producer, Château Léoville Poyferré now ranks amongst the three great Léoville Super Seconds. Relatively small in size, this estate crafts massively weighted Left Bank wines that in the past decades have made several steps forward in quality. The maison has remained under the Cuvelier family’s ownership since 1921, however the property did not see major changes prior to the arrival of Didier Cuvelier in the 1970s. Didier hired the renowned vigneron, Michel Rolland and together they shaped Poyferré into a wonderful winery, one that easily rivals Bordeaux’s best. Along the Gironde Estuary, the château is sandwiched between the Margaux and Pauillac appellations planted amongst the gravelly sand and clay soils. Today, the 80-hectare vineyard and newly renovated vinification facilities represent the perfect balance between heritage and modernity. Poyferré is a prime expression of its terroir, a solid and impressively structured wine, this Grand Vin is pleasantly approachable compared to other Left Bank reds. The second wine, Moulin Riche is similar in quality for its value.
