This is a Saint-Julien Second Growth from a turning point in the château's history, now about thirty years on. Didier Cuvelier met the oenologist Michel Rolland in 1988 and brought him in to modernise the estate's style. In 1994 Léoville Poyferré became the first property on the Left Bank to work with him, which puts this 1995 among the very first vintages of that partnership. The château was ranked a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Centuries of inheritances and divisions left its vineyard in five large parcels that between them cover all of Saint-Julien's main gravel types, from the Mindel II gravels along the Gironde to the Mindel I terraces further inland, over sandy clay. The Cuvelier family, wine merchants in Lille since 1804, have owned the estate since 1920. If you're curious how a new direction at a classic house holds up over the long run, this bottle lets you find out.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic; beef Wellington; grilled ribeye with a red wine and shallot sauce; wild mushroom risotto; aged Comté or Mimolette.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Saint-Julien profile: blackcurrant, cedar and graphite, with Merlot adding plummy roundness to a Cabernet-led core. Typically medium- to full-bodied with firm but polished tannins and fresh acidity. With bottle age, wines in this style soften and pick up savoury notes of tobacco, leather and forest floor, finishing long and dry.
