Chateau Leoville Poyferre Pavillon de Leoville Poyferre 2019

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

Elegant and expressive with a nose of vibrant black fruit, aniseed and hints of smoke and violet, the 2019 vintage has a lovely intensity of fruit held by a taut acidity and fine-grained tannins. The finish is poised and persistent.

Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré is the second wine of Château Léoville Poyferré in Saint-Julien, which was classified as a Second Growth during the 1855 Bordeaux classification. It is made by talented chief oenologist Isabelle Davin and cellar master Didier Thomann, benefitting from their scrupulous attention to detail in the vineyard and cellar.

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, is sourced from the estate’s younger vines, which have an average vine age of 15 – 20 years. After picking and fermentation, Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré is aged in two-year-old French oak barrels, which preserve the wine’s bright fruit character, ensuring that it is accessible in its youth, with a core of plush blackberry fruit, ripe tannins and a lifted finish.

As is common in Bordeaux family politics, the original Léoville vineyards were trisected between siblings in 1840. Their redistribution created three new wine estates: Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton and Léoville-Poyferré. Las Cases and Poyferré are still closely linked, sharing parking for their wineries to this day. Léoville-Poyferré achieved Second Growth status in the important 1855 classifications, but its quality remained distinctly average until the arrival of Didier Cuvelier in 1979. His family had bought Léoville-Poyferré in 1921, and although he had trained as an accountant, the lure of wine brought him to the helm of the estate. By first bringing in Emile Peynaud (his wine tutor), followed by ,b>Michel Rolland in 1994, implementing an intensive replanting and expansion regime, bringing the total hectares under vine to 80, and modernising the winery, Didier significantly raised the reputation of Léoville-Poyferré, creating a stylish St-Julien which rivals the best for quality at more modest prices.
