Château Léoville-Poyferré is a Second Growth estate situated in the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate is currently owned by the Cuvelier family, which has a long history in the wine trading business in Bordeaux. The 2020 vintage is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3% Carbernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, aged in 80% new oak. Expect a beautifully scented nose of violets, roses, blackberries, and dark cherries. On the palate, this medium- to full-bodied wine presents firm yet refined tannins, accompanied by notes of hazelnut and milk chocolate. Its structure is well-defined, while the texture is remarkably elegant. Although already approachable now, the wine will reveal its full potential after three or four years of aging.

The 2020 Léoville Poyferré is quite backward on the nose, gradually unfurling with aeration to reveal introspective black fruit, licorice and touches of bay leaf. Returning after 20 minutes the aromatics develop life-affirming pixelation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation—very pure and silky in terms of texture. This is lavished in some high-quality new oak, but there is plenty of fruit underneath. It will take several years to fully cohere, but it should be worth waiting for. This is stunning.

The 2020 Leoville Poyferre is deep purple-black in color. Gregarious scents of redcurrant jelly, kirsch, and warm cassis prance out of the glass, leading to subtle nuances of wild sage, graphite, damp soil, and crushed rocks, before giving glimpses of a gorgeous underlying perfume of lilacs, lavender, and cinnamon stick. The fantastically vivacious, medium-bodied palate vibrates with amazing energy, delivering crunchy red and black fruit layers, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a racy backbone, finishing long and perfumed. Exquisitely graceful with a natural beauty, this is a real head-turner!Lisa Perrotti-Brown29th June 2023
