Producer Information

Château Léoville Poyferré is a wine estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of Haut-Médoc wine region, just north of Bordeaux town. It was rated a second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, and was traditionally the softest of the three Léovilles. However, in the last few decades, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine has gained weight and density. The estate lies in the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation, with the cellars located in the village of Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, next door to Léoville-Las Cases and just north of Langoa-Barton (where the Léoville Barton wine is produced). All three Léoville vineyards were once part of the same estate which was divided in three on the death of its owner in the mid-18th Century. Léoville Poyferré took its name in the 1840s from Baron Jean-Marie de Poyferré, who acquired the estate through marriage. After a succession of owners, including Edouard Lawton (the wolf of his family crest adorns the Léoville Poyferré labels to this day), the estate was acquired by the Cuvelier family in 1920, with whom it has remained.
