CHATEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRE, 2003

SAINT-JULIEN

All wines of Bordeaux - All wines
"The spectacular Léoville Poyferré 2003 boasts a dense purple color, slightly lightened at the rim of the glass, with aromas of creosote, barbecue smoke, cassis jam, licorice, and spices. This intense and voluptuously textured Saint-Julien, with its generous body, offers low acidity and mature tannins. Always fresh and exuberant, it has just reached its peak maturity, which it is expected to maintain for 10 to 15 years or more. Best enjoyed between 2014 and 2029." - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes

The origins of Château Léoville Poyferré date back to the 17th century. Château Léoville Poyferré is one of the three estates that resulted from the division of the Léoville estate, the other two being Léoville Barton and Léoville Las Cases. The name was inherited in 1840 from Baron Jean-Marie de Poyferré de Cère. Its quality was quickly recognized, and it was classified as a 2nd Grand Cru Classé in 1855. In 1920, the Cuvelier family became the owners of this estate.

Château Léoville Poyferré is located on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, in the Saint-Julien appellation. Situated near Latour and Pichon Baron, the location of Château Léoville Poyferré gives it a high-quality gravel terroir. Compared to its famous neighboring wineries, it is distinguished by its creaminess, richness, modernity, and exuberance.
