Château Léoville-Poyferré 2nd Grand Cru Classé AC Saint-Julien 1.5L

A Saint-Julien with format: The Léoville-Poyferré is one of the Second Growths of the 1855 classification and comes here as a magnum (1.5 l) in the glass. Vinified dry, with the classic structure of a Médoc red wine.

The Château is located in Saint-Julien on the left bank of the Gironde, an appellation known for wines between power and finesse. Gravelly soils characterize the sites and give the wines structure and precision. Cabernet Franc is specified here as the grape variety. In the Médoc, it usually stands alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and contributes freshness and spice. We have no information on the exact composition of the vintage and the maturation, so we stick to what the appellation and the grape variety typically represent.

In the glass, you can expect dark berries such as currant and blackberry, plus notes of graphite, cedar wood, and tobacco, as they are typical for Saint-Julien. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, the acidity keeps the wine lively. The magnum bottle is suitable for larger table rounds and as a gift.

Recommendation: Decant the wine before serving and drink it at 16 to 18 °C. It goes with rack of lamb with a herb crust, entrecôte from the grill, or aged hard cheese.
