Château Léoville-Poyferré: Vineyards
The buildings of Château Léoville-Poyferré sit adjacent to, around and opposite Château Léoville-Las-Cases in the heart of St Julien, although the vineyards are much more parcellated. Perhaps about one-quarter of the vineyards lie to the south of the village of St Julien, the majority of these just to the west of the D2 as it runs northwards from Château Léoville-Barton towards the village, although there are a few other plots scattered about here, including some on the other side of the road, closer to the Gironde, and there is a strip of vines (pictured) on the other side of the Long as it passes Château Langoa-Barton.
About one-half of the vineyards are on the north and west side of the village of St Julien, entirely to the west of the D2 as you head northwards here. Indeed, the first vines on your left (pictured further down the page) as you head in this direction out of the village are all Château Léoville-Poyferré, closely wrapped around the vines of Clos du Marquis. Finally, about a quarter of the vines are further inland, abutting the vines of Château Moulin Riche (which is the location of the cabane pictured on page one of this profile).
