Château Phélan Ségur 2019

Château Léoville Poyferré, 2ème Grand Cru Classé from 1855, is one of Saint-Julien’s characterful estates. The vineyards lie on deep, warm gravel soils over clay and limestone – ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The terroir delivers powerful yet elegant wines with dark fruit, cassis, fine spice and the smooth texture typical of Saint-Julien. Since modernisation under the Cuvelier family, the style has become even more refined: precise parcel work, careful harvesting and vinification that perfectly combines fullness and balance. Léoville Poyferré is now one of the most reliable, charming and profound crus of its rank, with great ageing potential and a distinctive signature.

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
