Press reviews
The Wine Cellar Insider – Jeff Leve : 90-92 (04.05.2023)
“Savory herbs, currants, black cherries, and a hint of pepper form the nose. Medium-bodied, soft, creamy, and fruity, with an easy to find blast of currants, and herbs on the palate, the wine finishes with freshness, and sweet red fruits. This is ready to enjoy on release, and for at least a decade after that. The wine blends”
AlexandreMa.com – Alexandre Ma : 91-93 (16.05.2023)
“This wine exudes a sense of creamy sweetness, evoking feelings of passion and joy upon tasting. Despite the abundant tannins of the 2022 vintage, Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré never feels too heavy or overwhelming. Its tannic texture is delicate and refined, with a powdery structure that gently brushes the palate, leaving behind a comforting warmth that is all too familiar.”
Vinous Media – Antonio Galloni : 90-92 (09.05.2023)
“The 2022 Pavillon de Léoville-Poyferré is a very serious second wine. Swaths of tannin wrap around a core of dark fruit in this virile Saint-Julien. Gravel, dried herbs, incense, licorice and spice lend nuance throughout. This is a pretty muscular style for the Pavillon.”
