For the history of Leoville, to understand the difference between Pauillac and Saint Julien, to know the difference between first and second growth wines, to attend a  barrel tasting designed to test the influence of oak, all before participating in pumping-over operations in the winery, Didier Cuvelier of Chateau Léoville Poyferré received us for a tasting course that was very educational to say the least.
