CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ

BORDEAUX, FRANCE 2015


 

 

Here it is, folks — everything you could want in a Bordeaux: 

 

Power. Concentration. Fleshiness. Drive. Energy. Freshness. Length.

 

It was all there in our recent tasting of this 97-point jewel from Château Léoville Poyferré

 

And the price knocked us out, too — reminding us, yet again, of just why we love Second Growths: the way the best of them dramatically overperform, year after delicious year.

 

Run, don't walk, folks. This is one you cannot pass up. Order multiples, and thank us later. But hurry; our allocation is limited.

 

Jeb Dunnuck was just as enamored of the 2015 vintage as we are, calling it, in his 97-point review, "sexy, rounded, opulent," an "unctuous, ripe, pedal-to-the-metal beauty that's absolutely loaded with fruit and texture."

 

If you're looking for a smart buy in French wine, few estates represent better investment in the short- and long-term than Château Léoville Poyferré.

 

For a time, in the late 1980s, its reputation lagged behind that of the other Leoville estates, but no more. With the arrival, first, of owner Didier Cuvelier and then superstar consultant Michel Rolland, its wines have become more muscular, more concentrated, and more pure, while still delivering its characteristic softness. And over the past decade or so, Léoville Poyferré has been turning out some absolutely extraordinary wines.

 

This one, a blend, primarily, of Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot for softening and Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc for dimension, will stay with you long after you have taken your last sip: the aromatics lingering on the palate like a heady perfume, the slow, sustained finish haunting you like the final note of a great symphony.
