Over het wijnhuis Château Léoville Poyferré is 2ème Cru Classé uit Saint-Julien. De oorsprong van het château gaat terug tot 1638. In die tijd was Léoville het grootste landgoed van de Médoc, maar heeft verschillende eigenaren gekend die uiteindelijk resulteerden in een opsplitsing van het château in meerdere huizen. De in Bordeaux bekende Cuvelier-familie is sinds 1979 eigenaar van Château Léoville Poyferré.

Awards "The 2022 Léoville Poyferré has turned out very nicely, offering up aromas of crème de cassis, cherries, violets and creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that's ripe but lively, with supple tannins and a long, vanillin-inflected finish. This year, the team began picking their Merlot comparatively early and didn't perform a saignée (tank bleed), given the natural concentration of the vintage, though it remains the most flamboyant and demonstrative of the three Léoville estates, seeing some 80% new oak with malolactic fermentation in barrique for the new barrels. It will be a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"A mind-blowing Leoville Poyferre, probably one of the best for a long time. Huge depth and structure, showing a deep matrix of fruit full of fresh blackberries and a dash of ink and lead pencil. Such verticality on the full-bodied palate with beautiful balance and a clear finish that goes on and on for more than a minute. Great potential ahead. This was tasted at the UCGB tasting and was one of the best wines of the day. Drink after 2028. It should improve in the next 10 to 15 years." - James Suckling

"Full bottle 1,357 g. Vine average age 42 years, planted on gravel over sandy clay. 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, hand harvest. 6–8 hours' cold pre-fermentation maceration. Malo in new barrels. Aged 18–20 months in French oak, of which 80% new. pH 3.77. Even darker than the Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré and with even greater intensity of pure cassis fruit. Even though there is a lot more new oak, the fruit shines through. Here there's another dimension that is dark and almost stony/savoury. A big step up from the Pavillon in both power and richness but also in refinement, particularly in the text. Dense, chalky and almost-caressing tannins that need time to become finer and fresher as the spicy oak recedes. Needs time but very promising. (JH)

"The 2022 Léoville-Poyferré showed a lot of potential from barrel and it does so now in bottle. Interestingly, it bursts out of the blocks aromatically for a minute then settles down, gaining delineation and refinement. It is less full-throttle than other vintages and neatly hides the 14.24% alcohol. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety-smooth entry. There is such purity here, with fine-boned tannins and nicely judged acidity, all harmonious with a peacock's tail on the finish. Controlled from start to finish, if you are a fan of LP you're gonna love the 2022." - Vinous

"Solid, dark and winey, with a well-structured core that holds blackberry and plum reduction notes in a tightly knit mix of apple wood, licorice root and warm cast iron. The long and direct finish throws off hints of violet and ink. For the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2042." - Wine Spectator

"Highly concentrated and deep on the palate, this extends vertically from the beginning with layers of fleshy blackcurrant, super juicy cherries and salty stones. I love the feeling in the mouth, it's still got some sticky liquorice spice that edges the tannins, but this feels confident and showy. I like the force - it's taking the power of the vintage but edging the glamorous side with elegance and precision. Chewy and totally moreish. Great work. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.77pH." - Decanter
