About Château Léoville Poyferré 1966

The 1966 Château Léoville Poyferré is a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé. It originates from the Saint-Julien appellation in the Médoc. The 1966 Bordeaux vintage is considered classic and tannin-driven. The estate has been ranked among the Deuxièmes Crus of the Médoc since 1855. This bottle is sixty years old. Collectors value this Saint-Julien red wine as a testament to a classic era.

Origin & Classification

Château Léoville Poyferré is located in the heart of Saint-Julien. The estate traces its history back to the great Léoville property. This estate was divided after the French Revolution. In 1840, a further division resulted in the creation of Château Léoville Poyferré. It came into the possession of Baron Jean-Marie Poyferré de Cères through marriage. It has been owned by the Cuvelier family since 1920. Its neighbors are Château Léoville-Las Cases and Château Léoville Barton. The vines grow on gravel soils with some sand, clay, and limestone. The blend traditionally relies on Cabernet Sauvignon. It is complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The château has held the rank of Deuxième Grand Cru Classé since 1855. This rank remains valid today. This Saint-Julien red wine is considered a benchmark for its appellation. You can purchase this Château Léoville Poyferré here.

The 1966 Vintage

1966 is considered a classic vintage in Bordeaux. The summer was average to cool. An almost perfect, warm September brought a turnaround. The harvest began on October 6th under good conditions.

In particular, wines with high Cabernet Sauvignon content benefited. The 1966 Bordeaux vintage is therefore considered to have good aging potential. For a wine of this age, storage conditions and fill level determine its state. As a Bordeaux collector's wine, the 1966 Château Léoville Poyferré remains a sought-after item.

What you should consider when delivering wine

  • Consider where to leave it

    The plan is for you to receive your bottle of wine - Château Léoville Poyferré 1966 - in person. This ensures that the Red wine is not unnecessarily exposed to the weather. If you have wine delivered to a parcel station, pay attention to cold or hot day and night temperatures. This is because a parcel station is usually not air-conditioned. Spending too long in such a parcel compartment can affect the wine bottle. If the wine delivery was left on your doorstep, a longer stay in hot, cold or wet conditions can also disadvantage the wine bottle.

  • Avoid condensation

    Especially in the winter months (below 10 ° Celsius), your wine delivery is exposed to cold temperatures during transport. We therefore recommend that you place your package unopened in a room with a room temperature of approx. 15 - 18 ° Celsius for approx. 24 hours after delivery. This way, the wine bottle acclimatizes gently. If you were to place the cold wine bottle in a warm room, condensation would occur on the glass body. This happens because the warm, humid room temperature hits the cold surface of your new Red wine bottle. The result would be that water droplets and moisture would affect the wine label. A wavy, partially slightly detached label could occur.
