Château Léoville Poyferré 2005 Magnum (1500ml)
Château Léoville Poyferré 2005 Magnum (1500ml)
Two things make this bottle special. The first is the vintage: 2005 is one of the finest Bordeaux years of the modern era, and Léoville Poyferré — the estate whose 2009 earned Robert Parker's perfect 100 points — made a wine of real depth and staying power. The second is the format: in magnum, wine ages at roughly half the pace, keeping its freshness while the complexity builds.
The result is a twenty-year-old classified growth still full of life. There is simply nothing like a magnum arriving at the table — it turns dinner into an occasion all by itself. For anniversaries, reunions, and the kind of night people talk about afterwards.
At the table: A côte de boeuf to share, whole roast lamb, duck confit. Pours 10–12 generous glasses.

Sommelier's Note
The 2005 Château Léoville Poyferré in magnum is built for the table of eight. The large format has kept the legendary 2005 vintage remarkably fresh, its structure still unfolding two decades on. Pour it beside a côte de boeuf or whole roast lamb and let the bottle itself become the centrepiece — nothing signals occasion like a magnum of classified Bordeaux.

About the Brand
The Format: In magnum (1.5L), wine ages at roughly half the pace of a standard bottle, preserving freshness while complexity builds. The 2005 vintage is regarded as one of the finest of the modern era — and this estate's 2009 would go on to earn a perfect 100 from Robert Parker.
