Description
CH Leoville Poyferre is a distinguished Bordeaux red wine from the renowned Médoc region in France. It features a balanced flavor profile characterized by rich blackcurrant, plum, and subtle notes of cedar and spice, typical of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietals used in its blend.
This wine pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including grilled lamb, beef stew, and aged cheeses. For a more elegant choice, serve it alongside duck breast or a mushroom risotto to enhance the savory flavors.
Expert Reviews
Reminding me of the 2018 (as well as the 2009), if not slightly more concentrated, the 2022 Château Léoville Poyferré is one of the most opulent and flamboyant wines out of the Médoc in 2022, and it has incredible intensity while staying light on its feet and graceful. Its dense, glass-staining purple hue is followed by a sensational perfume of crème de cassis, graphite, darker chocolate, scorched earth, and flowers. Full-bodied on the palate, it brings extravagant levels of fruit as well as a seamless mouthfeel, beautifully integrated oak, tannins, and acidity, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish. It shines even today, yet it has beautiful underlying structure and will evolve gracefully over the coming 30+ years. The 2022 is based on 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 4% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged 18-20 months in 80% new oak.
