Chateau Leoville Poyferre is located in the Saint Julien production area. The Bordeaux wines in 1855 were rated as a second-class winery. The history of Chateau Leoville Poyferre can be traced back to 1638, when Château Léoville was the largest winery in the Médoc region. Chateau Leoville Poyferre was originally one of the three lion (Leoville) manors. The manor was split in 1769. Its brother manors are Chateau Leoville Barton and Chateau Leoville Las Cases.


During the French Revolution, the owner fled and was confiscated. A quarter of the winery was sold and became Chateau Leoville Barton. The remaining three quarters are kept in the hands of the family, and the owner's son Pierre-Jean inherits most of the remaining winery. A small part is given to his sister Jeanne. Later, Jeanne's daughter married Baron Jean-Marie de Poyferre and became the Chateau Leoville Poyferre. In 1866, he was forced to sell because of his son's error investment. After the change of ownership several times, it was acquired by the Cuvelier family after the end of the First World War. It was purchased by Didier Cuvelier in 1978, introducing a large number of modern equipment, repairing and rebuilding the wine cellar, building a groundwater storage room, adding a large number of new oak barrels, and improving the quality of the wine.


Chateau Leoville Poyferre used to plant Merlot grapes. Since Didier Cuvelier took over, the winery has begun to plant a large number of Cabernet Sauvignon, which accounts for about 65% of the area. In addition, 25% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc are planted. The vineyard covers an area of ​​80 hectares, the planting density is 8,500 plants/ha, the average yield is 8,750 liters/ha, and the average age of the vines is 35 years. This high-quality vineyard treasure has a relatively high proportion of old vine vines, which makes the winery of the winery full of unlimited potential. The winery hired the famous "flying winemaker" Michel Rolland as its winemaking consultant. The old vintage wines of Castel Rombeau Fei contain a variety of complex and unique aromas of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries. The acidity, alcohol content and tannins of the wine can reach a perfect balance. The wine texture is gorgeous and soft, and it is particularly elegant and delicate. Very superior aging potential!

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2013 Léoville-Poyferre has a lovely nose with simple blackcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, maintaining Didier Cuvelier's more opulent style while retaining delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with gently grippy tannin, good acidity and structure, not complex but with a very impressive blackberry and cassis finish that lingers in the mouth. Chapeau Monsieur Cuvelier - one of the best Saint Juliens this vintage.
