About The Producer

The producer

Château Léoville Poyferré

Perhaps the most seductive of all the Léovilles, Poyferré has been guided back to greatness by Didier Cuvelier, who took over the management of the property in 1979. The Cuvelier family purchased the Saint-Julien estate in 1920 and today, his legacy has been handed to his cousin, Sara Lecompte Cuvelier. With a renewed energy, commitment and passion, Sara has already inscribed two outstanding vintages to her tenure.

If you're wondering why there are three Léoville wine properties in this appellation: it is down to the French Revolution. The estate was seized by the state and auctioned off, giving birth to Léoville Barton, Léoville-Las Cases and Léoville Poyferré.

Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux should, strictly, be included here but they ...

2014 BORDEAUX: THE F+R PICKS. LEOVILLE-LASCASES

At Robert Parker’s Grand World Tour tasting a couple of months back we tasted a selection of wines that represented the very best of their respective regions. There were, obviously, points galore on the table. However, in my opinion, there was just one wine with the character that I think essential to “grand vin”, breeding. Which is to say class, ...
