Press reviews

Inside Bordeaux – Jane Anson : 98 (05.03.2026)

“Totally delivers on En Primeur quality, it’s exceptional, full of graphite and crayon textured tannins, ink, campfire, cassis, blackberry, bilberry, boom.” 

 

Vinous Media – Antonio Galloni : 97 (13.03.2026)

“The 2023 Léoville Poyferré is every bit as compelling as it was en primeur. Silky and aromatic, with gorgeous mid-weight balance, the 2023 impresses with class and understated finesse. Black cherry, lavender, menthol, spice, new leather and licorice are all woven together effortlessly. I especially admire the wine’s vibrancy and energy, qualities that build effortlessly into a pristine finish that is impossible to forget.”

 

JamesSuckling.com – James Suckling : 97 (27.01.2026)

“A very solid and intense wine with plenty of pure blackberry, blueberry and chocolate character but still subtle and sophisticated. It’s full-bodied, very structured, chewy and caressing, with pretty tannins and a long finish. Needs four or five years to soften. Best after 2029.”

 

Decanter – Georgina Hindle : 96 (16.05.2024)

“Bramble fruit tones on the nose with some floral elements of peony, violet and rose. Smells rich and ripe and quite opulent. Smooth and agile, a lovely energy straight away with bright, almost high-toned fruit, the acidity giving the lift and sense of freshness. Lean and straight but so juicy so you get the relatively tight structure but with mouthwatering acidity and a touch of sweetness adding bounce and pep to the expression. It’s still quite compact in terms of real expansion but there’s a long length. Really suave, almost subtle and dialled back which is great and the juiciness is totally moreish. I love it. Easy, generous, appealing.”
