Wine Spectator April - 1988
Wine Spectator
Firm, lean and structured with rich, ripe concentrated cassis, currant and plum fruit that's polished and full-bodied, finishing with vanilla and plum. The tannins are in proportion, finishing firm and dry.

Falstaff January - 2010
Falstaff
Medium ruby garnet, broader ochre rim. On the nose, delicately smoky nuances of cassis and blackberry fruit, a hint of grapefruit zest and nougat, inviting bouquet. Fresh on the palate, elegant texture, finely spiced body, mineral and well sustained, delicately salty, appears youthful, fine black berry fruit on the finish, good ageing potential.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Fully mature, medium bodied wine that is more interesting on the nose, with its cigar box, truffle, black cherry and tobacco driven perfume, than on the soft, gentle, slowly starting to fade palate. This is not a wine to hold. If you have a bottle in your cellar, it needs drinking.

Jancis Robinson May - 2009
Jancis Robinson
Really nutty and toasty on the nose. Smells quite young for its age. Cedary and very fresh on the palate. A Peter Pan wine on the nose though shows its age more on the palate. Smooth but a little drying on the finish.

Château Leoville Poyferre

Château Léoville Poyferré is a Bordeaux wine estate. Under the Saint Julien appellation, it is classified as a deuxième cru classé (Second Growth) in the official 1855 Médoc wine classification.

During the reign of Louis XIII, in 1638, Master Jean de Moytié, an ennobled Bordeaux bourgeois and counsellor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, owned a vineyard planted on a gravelly hill near the River. This led to the place being named "Mont-Moytié", following the custom of the time to name a place after its owner. The Mont-Moytié cru was part of these first historical crus of the Médoc, all born before the Fronde (1648-1653). The Médoc was then giving birth to its first parish crus.

This beautiful vineyard, originating from the former Léoville estate in the north of Saint-Julien, is one of the best terroirs of the appellation and certainly the richest of the second growths. The 80 hectares planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc produce a deep and rich wine.

Château Léoville Poyferré produces elegant, very fine, balanced and complex wines, with intense colour and velvety texture, which have a very good ageing potential.
