[Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2017]
Robert Parker rating: 94/100
Chateau Leoville Poyferre, rated as a second growth in the 1855 classification, is located in the Saint Julien area of Bordeaux, France.Chateau Leoville Poyferre previously primarily planted Merlot, but after Mr. Didier Cuvelier took over, the estate began to extensively plant Cabernet Sauvignon.The average age of the vines in the vineyard is 35 years, and this premium vineyard site has a higher proportion of old vines, giving the estate's wine production limitless potential.
"Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2017 presents a medium to deep garnet-purple color, needing a bit of time to reveal its alluring scents of violet, Black Forest cake, and blueberry preserves, with hints of raspberry leaf, rose, cigar box, and fragrant earth; the medium-bodied palate is quiet, with rich, layered, and well-defined flavors, soft and delicate tannins, and a long, fresh finish."
Grape varieties:
68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
