Château Léoville-Poyferré, Second Growth wine estate in Saint-Julien, France.
Château Léoville-Poyferré is a Second Growth wine estate in Saint-Julien covering 60 hectares (148 acres). The vineyard sits on gravelly hillsides where Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes produce red wines in the Médoc region.
This estate came into being in the early 1800s when the large Léoville property was divided. The Second Growth ranking in the 1855 Bordeaux classification established its standing among fine wine producers.
The Cuvelier family has managed this property since 1920 and blends traditional Bordeaux methods with modern approaches. Visitors notice how this mix of old knowledge and newer practices shapes daily work in the cellars.
Visitors can join guided tours through the vineyards and cellars with wine tasting sessions of different vintages. Plan ahead since spots are limited and availability varies by season.
The Cuvelier family acquired the property in 1920 from the Jardy family, marking a turning point in its development. This lesser-known ownership change shaped the estate into what it is today.
