18 Rene Gabriel
58 % Ca, 30 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot, 6 % Cabernet Franc. 32 hl/ha. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Herrlich florale Cabernetwürze, rote und blaue Kirschen, dahinter zeigt auch etwas Pfeffriges mit einem Hauch Sommertrüffel und gewissen Teernuancen. Viel Fleisch im Extrakt, tolle Konzentration, fein körnige Textur, mittlerer Druck. Also diesmal wieder zurück zu Klassik findend.

This property, which has been on a qualitative tear over the last generation, has produced one of the most successful wines of 2011. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it is broad, rich, medium to full-bodied and dense. It boasts an inky/purple color as well as lots of concentration, silky tannins, and a bigger, richer mouthfeel than any of its St.-Julien peers. The result is one of the stars of the vintage.

Shows a warm charcoal note from the start, backed by melted fig, crushed blackberry and steeped black currant fruit. A strong graphite edge pins down the finish. Dark in profile, but defined and well-suited to mid-term cellaring. A very solid effort. Best from 2016 through 2026. –JM

The 2011 Léoville Poyferré has a ripe bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry, graphite and pressed flower scents. Quite open and more fruit-driven than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, quite fine tannins and satisfying weight. Touches of black pepper and cedar line the finish, though here, it just misses a bit of tension and Poyferré's trademark amplitude. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Château Léoville Poyferré
Producteur historique de Saint-Julien, le Château Léoville Poyferré s’est hissé sur le podium des trois meilleurs Supers Seconds de Léoville. Sa petite taille est inversement proportionnelle à la structure de ses vins, massive quant à elle. Depuis quelques décennies, ces cuvées issues de la Rive Gauche grimpent les échelons qualitatifs. La maison est restée dans le giron de la famille Cuvelier depuis 1921, mais elle n’a amorcé un nouveau virage qu’à l’arrivée de Didier Cuvelier dans les années 1970. Didier fait appel aux services du célèbre œnologue Michel Rolland, et le duo a transformé Poyferré en un merveilleux domaine, à pied d’égalité avec les meilleures structures bordelaises. Longeant l’estuaire de la Gironde, le château est pris en sandwich entre les appellations Margaux et Pauillac sur un terroir de sables graveleuses et d’argile. A présent, le vignoble de 80 hectares et ses installations de vinification récemment rénovées conjuguent à la perfection, patrimoine et modernité. Poyferré offre une belle expression de son terroir. Cuvée robuste dotée d’une structure impressionnante, le grand vin propose une accessibilité séduisante comparée à d’autres vins rouges de la Rive Gauche. Le second vin, le Moulin Riche, est d’un niveau qualitatif semblable pour le prix.
