Originally, the Léoville Poyferré vines were one with those which today constitute the Léoville Las Cases and Léoville Barton vineyards. The initial estate was created by the parliamentarian Jean de Moytié in 1638. The wine is already well known, appreciated… and expensive in the 18th century, thanks to the efforts of its owner since 1740, Blaise-Alexandre de Gasq, Lord of Léoville. Four of his heirs shared the estate during the Revolution. One of them, the Marquis de Las Cases, owner of a quarter of the land, having fled abroad, the three others obtained from the Revolutionary State a partial confiscation of the domain, specifying this quarter. This plot will later become Léoville Barton. When the remaining plots were divided, which took place in 1840, Jeanne de Poyferré, granddaughter of the marquis, inherited the current estate which would take the name of Château de Léoville Poyferré. The classification of Médoc wines came shortly after, in 1855. The original property being divided into three wineries, each was awarded the rank of Second Grand Cru Classé. Sold several times, Léoville Poyferré fell in 1920 to a family from the north, today represented by Didier Cuvelier. A vestige of the upheavals of history, the Château itself and the main courtyard are still shared between the owners of Léoville Poyferré and Léoville Las Cases. Under the leadership of Didier Cuvelier and the oenologist Michel Rolland, Château Léoville Poyferré has the technical and human potential to compete with its cousin.
