The Léoville Poyferré 2004 is a beautifully crafted Bordeaux blend from the esteemed Saint-Julien appellation in France. A deep, garnet color greets the eye, hinting at the wine's intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark chocolate. With a bit of aeration, subtle notes of cedar, leather, and tobacco emerge, adding depth and complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is velvety and powerful, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. The rich dark fruit flavors are perfectly balanced by the wine's lively acidity, making for a harmonious and elegant drinking experience. This vintage showcases the exceptional quality of Château Léoville Poyferré, and will continue to develop beautifully over the next decade. A true delight for any Bordeaux lover.
Winemakers Notes
Léoville Poyferré, a timeless style
"What is essential is invisible to the eye"
Since 1920, the Cuvelier Family has drawn inspiration from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's profound words while meticulously shaping the distinctive style of Chateau Léoville Poyferré. Their journey has been characterized by care, contemplation, and an unwavering passion, all infused with a free-spirited ethos unbound by convention. These 'wine adventurers,' hailing from northern France, have always cast their gaze toward the horizon, steadfastly pursuing their mission: the perpetual enhancement of the wine and the revelation of the unique terroir, this hidden gem of the Médoc.
As the fourth generation at the helm of this 2nd Grand Cru Classé in 1855 from Saint-Julien, Sara Lecompte Cuvelier preserves what is the real strengths of Léoville Poyferré that may not necessarily be seen at first glance: a secular know-how paired with the complexity of the terroirs.
