Château Léoville Poyferré 2025
Bordeaux Primeurs | 2nd Cru Classé, Saint-Julien AC
"At Léoville Poyferré, the real wealth is not in the Château or in the cellars, as can sometimes be the case, but where it is essential: in the terroirs, the know-how and the work of the teams. C "is the excellence of a whole at the service of a single one: wine." Sara Lecompte Cuvelier

98 100DecanterAn extremely captivating Poyferré this year. Beautiful vivid and vibrant colour in the glass with soft rose and violets on the nose. Juicy and alive, immediately so charming, chewy, fleshy but cool and stony. Mouthfilling with licks of liquorice, tobacco, cola and hints of clove. I love the restraint on show – this is still a powerful wine but so much more relaxed than it could have been. Graceful yet impactful, full of ripe fruit with such a generous and happy attitude. I love it. Potential upscore in bottle. A yield of 20hl/ha, one of the smallest yields. Owner Sara spoke of lower fermentation temperatures, shorter macerations and shorter pumping-over to keep soft tannins. No deleafing, kept cover crops and used cold rooms to let grapes cool before optical sorting, especially for the more fragile Petit Verdot. Julien Viaud consultant. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drinking window: 2034 - 2050. Georgina Hindle. April 2026.

99 100Yves BeckProfond et intense, le bouquet de Léoville Poyferré plébiscite autant la fraîcheur que le caractère chaleureux du millésime. Les notes de graphite et de baies noires, ça il connait, les notes de lierre et d'eucalyptus aussi, sans parler des parfums de pivoines, de myrtilles, de chèvrefeuille, de caramel et de café… La pluralité n'est plus à démontrer, elle est tout simplement évidente ! Didier Thomann les réunit et leur apprend à s'entendre ; il doit probablement beaucoup leur parler ! En bouche, le vin s'illustre par sa vigueur, son charme, sa précision et sa puissance. Les tannins sont certes puissants, mais ils sont tellement bien encadrés par les éléments présents, que l'on s'autorise forcément à parler de douceur ! Un athlète bien sculpté, et non bodybuildé, qui sera autant performant au lancer du javelot que du lancer du poids ou du marathon ! 2030-2060. 98-99/100. Avril 2026.

A beautiful dark red with almost black reflections.
Complex bouquet with aromas of cherry and blackcurrant, followed by notes of licorice and a touch of violet and cedarwood.
Lively entry in the mouth, while being soft, velvety and ample. Equipped with well-integrated tannins, tasty and fresh. Already very pleasant in his youth, the elegance of his rank will be conferred upon him by his age.
Meat and game terrines, beef Wellington fillet, entrecôte, rack of lamb, game, soft cheeses, dark chocolate desserts.
Serving temperature: 16 - 18°C
