    Product description

    Once part of the Léoville estates (including Léoville Barton and Léoville Las Cases), Château Léoville Poyferré is considered as one of St Julien’s finest estate. They harvest later in order to achieve phenolic ripeness and they have increased the proportion of new oak during the maturation process.

    Good intensity of black fruits and dark cherry fruits alongside chocolate and herbal aromas. Good complexity on the palate and lighter style than other vintages.

    The spectacular 2003 Leoville Poyferre exhibits a dense purple color with a touch of lightening at the edge as well as notes of creosote, barbecue smoke, jammy black currants, licorice and spice box. This intense, voluptuously textured, full-bodied St.-Julien possesses low acidity and ripe tannin. Still fresh and exuberant, it is just entering its plateau of full maturity where it should remain for 10-15+ years. Drink 2014-2029

    After years of work by managing director Didier Cuvelier and the help of enologist Michel Rolland, the estate produced its highest scoring wine ever in 2003. Cuvelier worked diligently, rebuilding his chai, increasing the amount of Cabernet Sauvignon in his blend and upping the quotient of new oak. The 2003 is the payoff.

    About the producer: Château Léoville Poyferré

    Once part of the Léoville estates (including Léoville Barton and Léoville Las Cases), Château Léoville Poyferré spreads over 80 hectares in St Julien. Poyferré traditionally produced more delicate wines than the other two Léoville but since 1995, with the assistance of Michel Rolland at the time, their wines have gain body and structure and the estate is now considered as one of St Julien’s finest estate. They harvest later in order to achieve phenolic ripeness and they have also increased the proportion of new oak during the maturation process. View our selection.

    The 80 hectares of vines are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (25%), Petit Verdot (8%) and Cabernet Franc (2%). The wines are aged in barrels for 18-20 months.
