    In a few words ...

    Resulting from the division of Château Léoville in 1840, this fine Saint-Julien 2nd Cru Classé has belonged to the Cuvelier family since 1920. It has been represented by Didier Cuvelier since 1979, who has shown great legitimate ambition for his cru: plots have been replanted to extend the vineyard's exploited surface area - from 48 hectares to 80 today. Oenologist Michel Rolland has been advising on vinification since 1994, imbuing the wines with his "nectar" style: seductive, full-bodied, concentrated and unctuous, they feature bright fruit and sweet spice notes, with superb ageing potential. J. Suckling: 95-96/100

    Taste

    The wines of Saint-Julien are famous for mixing the feminine finesse of Margaux wines with the strength of Pauillac wines. We will find therefore structured tannins with a note of black fruits important that will give an interesting overall balance.
