What We Say 2019 'Pavillon' Saint-Julien
What the Winery Says
Château Léoville Poyferré
Second wine of Château Léoville Poyferré, it benefits from the same care as its big brother, both in the vineyard and in the cellars. The label has evolved with the 2018 vintage. 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.
Tranquil, 2019 was able to elude the risk of spring mildew. Although bud break was relatively early, and flowering occurred under cool, damp conditions, the arrival of summer heat favored a promising vintage. Is 2019 “solar”? This summery vintage is indeed one where climate played a dominant part of the terroir. Endowed with charm and beautifully balanced ripeness, will this be another outstanding Bordeaux vintage ending in 9?
