Description
The blend is remarkably similar to that of Léoville Poyferré, with 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Ripe blackberries and plums dominate the nose, and there is a lovely gentle succulence on the palate with a fresh, lively acidity and a fine balance on the finish. A really good second wine and one which is usually attractively priced. Let’s hope history repeats itself!

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.
