Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré 2016 — the elegant second wine of a storied Saint-Julien estate.
Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré is the second wine of the celebrated Léoville Poyferré estate in Saint-Julien. Crafted with the same care as the grand vin, this Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot is oak-aged for smooth, velvety refinement.
Full-bodied, smooth and velvety, with balanced acidity. Rich, intense dark fruit is layered with cedar, spice and a hint of vanilla, closing long and lingering.
