Oenologist's Choice, Wines for Connoisseurs !

Awarded an impressive 93-points by Robert Parker, this benchmark Saint Julien offers fantastic value for money! The Cuvelier family has owned Chateau Leoville-Poyferre since 1920. Just recently, they've begun to modernise the estate - leading to a dramatic rise in the quality of their wine. Chief winemaker Didier Cuvelier, spared no expense with his Grand Vin - using tiny quantities of highly concentrated fruit as well as the finest oak barrels. Robert Parker ranks this wine "among the stars of the appellation" - an accolade some clarets twice its price don't receive! "Made in a more floral, supple, Margaux-like style, the deep ruby/purple-hued 2004 Leoville Poyferre exhibits sweet, broad flavors, and plenty of tannin lurking beneath the surface. However, the abundant cherry, blackcurrant and smoke notes obscure the tannic clout." Robert Parker.
