Country: France Region: Bordeaux (Saint Julien) Varietal: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot Vintage: 2015 Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Chateau Leoville Poyferre Description: Second wine of Château Léoville Poyferré, it benefits from the same care as its big brother, both in the vineyard and in the cellars. Bursting with fruit, this bright, attractive wine is accessible in its youth. Enjoy it in anticipation of the finesse, elegance, and balance of the Grand Vin. Tasting Note: The 2015 vintage displays a brilliant, limpid deep garnet color with purple highlights. This expressive Saint-Julien is bursting with aromas of red and black fruit.  Upon aeration, these enticing aromas intensify, revealing crème de cassis accompanied by lush, toasted notes. Powerful, plump, and generous, the tannic structure gives way to a singular freshness that brings a lot of elegance, characteristic of a great Saint-Julien.  Dense ripe black fruit echoes through to the finish, accented by a hint of vanilla.  This beautiful vintage shows magnificent complexity, placing it among the great vintages of the estate.
