AboutChâteau Léoville Poyferré
Château Léoville Poyferré is a Saint-Julien estate formed from the historic Léoville property and classified as a Second Growth in 1855. The Cuvelier family acquired the château in 1920, creating a century-long ownership link that continues through the current generation. The vineyard sits within the gravel landscapes of Saint-Julien and is planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by other Bordeaux varieties.
Recent work has combined parcel-level vineyard study with continued investment in the cellar.

French Red
Cassis and ripe blackberry lead an expressive bouquet of flowers, spice and a touch of charcoal. Broad and richly textured, the palate layers generous dark fruit over silky tannins. Its concentration is balanced by freshness, keeping the opulent style lively and defined. The long finish carries fine tannins and lingering black-fruit flavour with a savoury edge.
