【Feature】Chateau Leoville Poyferre

Located in the north of the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation, the vineyard covers different types of gravel soils, contributing to the balance, finesse and elegance of its wines.

Château Léoville Poyferré was born in 1840 following various divisions. The classification of 1855 endowed with the rank of Second Grand Cru.

Wine merchant and owner of Château Le Crock (Cru Bourgeois in St Estèphe), the Cuvelier family acquired Châteaux Moulin Riche and Léoville Poyferre in 1920.

For 40 years, Didier Cuvelier carried out restructuring of the vineyard with respect for the soil and environment, with recent focus on biodynamics. Innovative winemaking techniques are combined with traditional barrel ageing methods. After working together for a while, he passed the baton to his cousin Sara Lecompte Cuvelier in 2018.

The château continues reaching out to wine lovers around the world at home and at the estate.
