Press reviews

JebDunnuck.com – Jeb Dunnuck : 93 (28.02.2025)

“Ripe currants, cassis, graphite, leafy herbs, and smoky notes all emerge from the 2022 Pavillon De Léoville Poyferré, a full-bodied, rich, layered mouth-filling second wine that has ripe tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish.”

 

JamesSuckling.com – James Suckling : 93 (03.02.2025)
“Mulberries, blackberries and a touch of black pepper on the nose. Dusty tannins on the full-bodied palate, with a densely packed finish. Pretty long and broad. This needs two to three years in the bottle. Drink from 2027.”
Wine Spectator – James Molesworth : 93 (22.01.2025)
“A grippy, strapping style, with bramble-laced black currant, plum and boysenberry reduction flavors carried by a fine-grained structure through the finish, accented by anise, violet and warm cast iron. Very much in the vintage profile”
Vinous Media – Antonio Galloni : 91 (29.01.2025)

“The 2022 Pavillon de Léoville-Poyferré is bold and explosive in the glass. A heady second wine, Pavillon packs a pretty serious punch. Dark red-toned fruit, gravel, licorice, incense and chocolate show the extroverted side of the vintage. Ripeness is definitely on the pushed side, while the tannins are pretty imposing, especially for a second wine.”
