2009 Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

From the fruit of Leoville-Poyferre’s younger vines in the heart of St Julien and mirroring the style of its big brother, the Pavillon is strikingly pure and refined. The nose gives bright, fresh fruit - morello cherries, sloes and hints of cedar and oak. Very much an example of a modern, flashy St. Julien, the palate is dense and opulent - full of the soft, yielding fruit for which the 2009's are famous, all held taut by a fine weave of tannic structure.

There is pin-sharp detail here - generous enough to enjoy now, but clearly with enough depth to fill out over the next year or two. Exceptional value, this offers a glimpse of the 100 point Grand Vin, for a tenth of the price.

About this wine

Château Léoville Poyferré

Château Léoville Poyferré is a wine estate in St Julien on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. It was once part a larger estate called Léoville, which was established in 1638 and divided up centuries later following the death of its owner. That original estate gave rise to the three separate properties now called Léoville Barton, Léoville Las Cases and Léoville Poyferré. The latter took its name in 1840 from Baron Jean-Marie de Poyferré, who inherited the estate along with his wife, the daughter of Jeanne de Las Cases. Léoville Poyferré, like Barton and Las Cases, was ranked a Second Growth in the 1855 classification.
