Forrygende jubilæumsudgave af ikoniske Château Léoville Poyferré!
Årgang 2020 af Château Léoville Poyferré er endnu en forrygende årgang fra et af de bedste og mest eftertragtede vinslotte i Bordeaux.
Dets stolte historie kan spores hele vejen tilbage til 1638, men har siden 1920 været ejet af familien Cuvelier. Derfor er vinen da også prydet og dekoreret med en helt særlig sort og guldfarvet flaske og etiket, for at markere dette historiske 100-års jubilæum.
I årgang 2020 består vinen af 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc og 2% Petit Verdot.
Med sin placering 45 km nordvest fra selve Bordeaux by i den vestlige del af Saint Julien, står Château Léoville Poyferré år efter år for at skabe vine af den allerhøjeste kvalitet.
Chateauet var den største af sin slags under den franske revolution, og blev i 1855 tildelt klassifikation af 2. Cru. I 1920 opkøbte Cuvelier-familien slottet, og samme familie er fortsat ejere den dag i dag, hvor man råder over hele 95 hektar, der er plantet med 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Merlot, 8 % Petit Verdot og 2 % Cabernet Franc.

The Grand Vin 2020 Chateau Leoville Poyferre, which is released in a stylish black bottle commemorating a century for the Cuvelier family, is reminiscent of the 2016 with its powerful, concentrated, yet vibrant and inward style. Pure creme de cassis, melted chocolate, loamy earth, graphite, and some spicy nuances all define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied, with a stacked mid-palate, nicely integrated oak, ripe tannins, and one hell of a great finish. This is another utterly brilliant wine from this team, which has been producing First Growth quality wines for many years now. The blend of the 2020 is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, aged in 80% new barrels, hitting 13.58% natural alcohol and a pH of 3.81. Best After 2028.

Impressive purity of fruit on the nose with crushed raspberries, blackcurrants and blackberries. Some lead pencil, too. It’s full-bodied with very polished, intense tannins that go on for minutes. The quality and precision of the tannins are impressive, giving the wine form, energy and equilibrium.
Decanter - 96
Rich and concentrated with violet reflections and a wall of tannins. Well structured, it sets its feet deep in the ground and will need time to soften and develop. Good quality with depth. The tannins are far more present than the alcohol, setting it apart from the 2018.
