Thanks to its outstanding past and the last three decades of efforts and investments, Château Léoville Poyferré and regained excellence: - 80 hectares of vineyards to make wine - Modern winemaking equipment shows a perfect balance between modern and traditional, reflecting the latest technological advances.
Tasting notes
A deep, inky purple hue hints at the wine’s concentration and depth. The nose is expansive and layered, revealing ripe blackcurrant, cassis, and black cherry, intertwined with notes of cedar, graphite, dark chocolate, and violets. On the palate, the 2022 vintage is opulent yet precise, with luscious dark fruit, silky tannins, and a finely tuned acidity that ensures freshness. Hints of espresso, licorice, and crushed stone add complexity, while the long, mineral-driven finish leaves an impression of power and refinement. This is a wine built for long-term aging, promising to evolve beautifully over the next 20-30 years.
Pairing
The structure and intensity of Château Léoville Poyferré 2022 make it a perfect match for robust, richly flavored dishes. A dry-aged ribeye steak with black pepper and rosemary will highlight the wine’s bold tannins and dark fruit, while a rack of lamb with garlic and thyme mirrors its herbal undertones. For a more refined pairing, duck breast with a red wine reduction enhances the wine’s silky texture and deep complexity. Finally, aged cheeses such as Comté or Stilton offer a luxurious contrast to the wine’s richness, making for a truly indulgent experience.

Cabernet Franc
A single-varietal Cabernet Franc wine has medium body and exhibit graphite, green bell pepper and red licorice notes, with darker wines showing more cigar and leather flavors.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
