Château Léoville Poyferré 2014

A vintage marked by the Indian summer

A prodigious succession of mild weather, humidity, heat and sunshine characterize the 2014 vintage. The Indian summer helped promote perfect ripeness of the grapes.

The magnificent late season associated with constant care and attention in the vineyard gave birth to this successful vintage. Its quality is the reward for energy invested, and approaches that of great classic vintages.

Press reviews

The Wine Advocate – Neal Martin : 96 (20.03.2024)

“The 2014 Léoville Poyferré has a magnificent nose that is a cut above its peers: more concentrated, more delineated and has stunning depth with complexity that only comes through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, but this Saint-Julien has real backbone and density, with impressive substance towards the finish. One of the best wines on the Left Bank. This is the finest bottle I have tasted, and it is far from representing the best Left Bank in this vintage. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.”

The Wine Cellar Insider – Jeff Leve : 94 (10.02.2021)

“Classic in style, with strong essences of cedar, tobacco and herbs to accompany the crisp red fruits, the wine is medium-bodied, chewy, bright, sweet and fresh. with an herbal and leafy accent to the red fruit in the finish. It is still youthful, but with 2 hours of air, you can drink this with pleasure today.”

JamesSuckling.com – James Suckling : 94 (14.02.2017)

“A ripe, generous and substantial wine for this appellation with some real concentration. Plenty of beautiful currant and blackberry character, as well as a solid core of ripe, dusty and velvety tannins and enough acidity to carry the long, savory finish. Slight lean now. Better in 2024.”
