Château LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ
2ème grand cru classé

With the help of Michel Rolland, Léoville-Poyferré has gained in depth since 1993, voluptuousness of texture and ability to age. It is now approaching the quality of its prestigious neighbours in which it is landlocked: Léoville-Las Cases and Pichon-Lalande. The competition between the three Léoville is intense but Léoville-Poyferré now prevails with an easier, more voluptuous approach, and a superior quality/price/pleasure ratio.

Terre de Vins : 98-99/100 Coup de ♥ “An enticing nose of immense beauty, ranging from rose to violet, and from cherry to crushed strawberry. This exceptional 2025 offers a perfectly crafted attack; everything is delicate, silky and refined. Powdery tannins coat the palate, lending it immense charm. 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot combine to create a truly exceptional wine, which is a delight even in its youth and possesses great ageing potential. A sure-fire winner.”

J-M Quarin : 98/100 “Delicate on the palate at first, particularly aromatic in the mid-palate, with a graceful texture and a noble development, the wine evolves into a refined, deep, juicy and complex finish. A long, flavourful and fragrant finish.”

La Revue du Vin de France : 96-97/100 “A wine of exemplary elegance, without the slightest hint of heaviness. The precision of the extraction brings out the fruit’s remarkable clarity. The supple, perfectly integrated tannins contribute to an overall harmony that captivates with its finesse and brilliance.”

Vinous (N. Martin) : 95-97/100 "The 2025 Léoville-Poyferré is quintessential Poyferré on the nose, quite sensual and pure in style, with layers of ripe black fruit, black plum, a hint of camphor and violet. Wonderful delineation. The palate is framed by fine tannins, beautifully balanced, again quite minerally in style, with a precise and persistent graphite-tinged finish. If you love Poyferré, then you are going to adore this."

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 94-96/100 "The 2025 Léoville-Poyferré is gorgeous. Rich and juicy, with striking mid-palate pliancy, the Grand Vin shows the vintage at its finest. That is immediately evident in its plush contours and impeccable balance. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, menthol and mocha flesh out in the glass, filling out the layers effortlessly. The 2025 is a sensual Grand Vin."

Bettane+Desseauve : 94-95/100 “Full-bodied and complex, still slightly behind some of its peers at this stage of the tasting, but with excellent substance and structure.”
