Chateau Leoville Poyferré, Saint Julien 2nd Grand cru classé 0,75ltr
Château Léoville Poyferré is a 2nd Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Julien. The origins of the château go back to 1638. At that time, Léoville was the largest estate of the Médoc, but has known different owners, which eventually resulted in the château being split into several houses. The Cuvelier family, known in Bordeaux, has owned Château Léoville Poyferré since 1979.
98+/100 Robert Parker
Notes Robert Parker:
The wine out distances both Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Barton, but all three of them are compelling efforts. Full-bodied, dense purple in color, with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, cassis, graphite and spring flowers, this full-bodied, legendary effort is long and opulent, with wonderfully abundant yet sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and a thrilling, nearly one-minute finish. This spectacular effort from Poyferre that should drink well for 30+ years.
