Château Léoville Poyferré 2017

Château Léoville Poyferré 2017

Ch.Léoville Poyferré is clearly one of the most exciting properties in Saint-Julien and all of the Médoc. The origin of the estate dates back to 1638. At that time, Léoville Poyferré was the largest domain in the Médoc. The 60 hectares Saint-Julien vineyards of Léoville Poyferré are planted to 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The terroir is mostly gravel, with some sand, clay, and limestone in the soil. As the devastating effects of frosts have a serious impact on the viticultural landscape of Bordeaux, Saint-Julien can give thanks to Saint Vincent, patron Saint of the vineyard workers. Blessed by his protection from the worst of the exceptional frosts and safeguarded for the duration of the vintage.

The 2017 Léoville Poyferré is very deep purple-black in color with super intense notes of freshly crushed black currants, wild blueberries and Sichuan pepper with hints of lavender, baking spices, and wood smoke. The palate is medium-bodied, firm and grainy with restrained, understated fruit and a long, mineral-laced finish.
