Château Léoville Poyferré
Léoville was once one of the largest estates in Bordeaux, over 250 years ago, before it was split into three parts. Today, we know the châteaux Barton, Las Cases, and Poyferré. Like its sister estates, Poyferré is located in St. Julien and is a 2ème Cru.
For about twenty years, in our opinion, it has consistently ranked among the top five châteaux in the St. Julien appellation. The estate spans 80 hectares of vineyards, with 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc planted.
Léoville-Poyferré enlisted the support of the renowned oenologist Michel Rolland many years ago, and he has been advising the estate ever since. His expertise has undoubtedly played a significant role in its worldwide success.
St. Julien
The smallest appellation among the Médoc’s most famous, covering just 900 hectares, may not boast a Premier Cru, but it is home to exceptional 2ème, 3ème, and 4ème Crus—the very best of which we proudly offer in our selection.
Anyone who has ever driven past the majestic Léoville estates might never want to leave. It is believed that in the 18th century, the stunning Léoville estate was the largest in all of Médoc before it was divided into the three renowned wineries we know today. Since the 1980s, St. Julien has offered unmatched consistency in quality, which we deeply admire. We equally appreciate its subtlety, balance, and strong sense of tradition.
There are many wines we love from St. Julien:
- The 2ème Cru Château Léoville-Las Cases, known for its precise structure and complex aromas
- Château Léoville-Poyferré, the most fruit-driven of the Léoville estates
- Château Talbot, whose gentle wildness has always fascinated us.
