Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2eme Cru 2016

98–100
/100

Lobenberg: Leoville Poyferré er den tredje vingård i Leoville-serien. Det plejede at være en vingård. Ofte den mest burgundiske af disse tre vine. I gode år kan den være primus inter pares. Det fine er, at Poyferré altid har været anderledes end Barton og Las Cases, som ligger tættere på hinanden med hensyn til kraft, så længe jeg har kendt den. Poyferré er meget finere, meget mere burgundisk i næse og mund. Næsen er også overvejende orienteret mod krydret, sort kirsebær. Kun et lille strejf af røde og solbær nedenunder. Men det stilfulde kirsebær dominerer klart. Så fin, så båret, så elegant. Og det fortsætter i munden. Helt centreret om kirsebærret. Det sorte kirsebær får her selskab af surkirsebær, derefter slåen, lidt havtorn, eukalyptus og mynte. Stor salt længde. Viser meget pres, men også stor friskhed og en masse modenhed. Chic, stilfuld note. Stor længde. Den samler sig perfekt efter flere minutter. Sikke en stor, burgundisk, ultrachic Leoville Poyferre. Hvornår har den været bedre i de sidste 15-20 år? Det tror jeg ikke. Jeg kan ikke bedømme hverken Barton eller Poyferré til 100, fordi Las Cases bare er så fantastisk. Men Chambertin-Poyferré er stort set på samme niveau. 98-100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2eme Cru

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Tasted on four separate occasions where this wine rated 97+, 98, 98, and 99, the 2016 Château Léoville-Poyferré is a brilliant bottle of wine and is certainly in the same league as the 2000, 2003, 2009, and 2010. Made from 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 80% new oak, this brilliantly concentrated, full-bodied, opulent beast of a wine offers a heavenly bouquet of crème de cassis, blackcurrants, smoked earth, tobacco leaf, and ample crushed rocks. It’s certainly one of the most flamboyant and opulent wines in the vintage, yet it remains perfectly balanced, with masses of polished tannins, no hard edges, and a fabulous finish. It will be drinkable in 3-4 years yet keep for 3-4 decades. 98/100

International Wine Report om: Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2eme Cru

-- IWR: The 2016 Château Léoville Poyferré is utterly captivating and one of the most impressive young wines from the vintage. Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc this gorgeous Saint-Julien offers attractive aromatics of ripe black and red currants, exotics spices, fresh violets, graphite and minerals all taking shape. On the palate this is medium to full bodied backed by incredible tannin structure and outstanding overall balance. It displays stunning purity and is beautifully precise through the ultra-long finish. The 2016 is one of the finest young wines from Léoville Poyferré which I have had the chance to taste. That being said, this will demand some cellaring, but the sky is the limit for this simply brilliant wine. 98/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2eme Cru

An exceptional vintage, and an exceptional wine, punching in quality at the top of the appellation. Beginning to close down at five years old, the fingers of the tannins are closing in, but the bright succulent berry fruits are fully on display underneath and this has slate, cigar box, graphite, the full St Julien toolbox, precise but unyielding, supremely confident. 80% new oak. Harvest October 5 to 20. 98/100

Parker om: Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2eme Cru

-- Parker: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Léoville Poyferré hits the ground running with intense cassis, violets, dark chocolate, menthol and fragrant earth notions complemented by nuances of cigar box and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is charged with energetic, super intense black fruit and floral layers, beautifully supported with super firm, ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness. This liquid is simply alive in the mouth, culminating in an epically long finish that will leave your mouth practically tingling. WOW! 97+/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2eme Cru

-- Wine Spectator: Richly layered, with a core of well-steeped plum, blackberry and black currant fruit flavors cruising through, flanked by ganache, sweet tobacco and warm tar notes. There's a plush, toasty coating but the wine's energy and nearly unbridled fruit will easily soak that up. A last echo of violet is further evidence of a lovely evolution ahead. Best from 2025 through 2040. 97/100

Galloni om: Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2eme Cru

-- Galloni: The 2016 Léoville-Poyferré is fabulous. Rich, ample and dramatic in bearing, the 2016 possesses striking intensity and vertical lift. The tannins certainly need at least a few years in bottle to soften, but there is so much to look forward to. Graphite, menthol, lavender and licorice complement the inky blue/purplish fruit beautifully. The bottled wine has a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon and less Merlot than the en primeur sample. I tasted the 2016 three times. It's least favorable showing was at the château. For readers and proprietors who think wines always taste better on site...they don't. 97/100

Suckling om: Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2eme Cru

Wow. The power and depth to this wine is super with a full and fleshy palate, yet so tight and integrated with panache and energy. Chewy tannins yet seamless and melted in the wine. Extremely long and beautiful. This needs at least five to six years to resolve the steely tannins that run through this wine. Take a look from 2024. A blend of 61 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 27 per cent merlot, eight per cent merlot and four per cent cabernet franc. 97/100

Leoville Poyferre

På tidspunktet for den franske revolution var Léoville den største vingård i Médoc. Siden 1920 har Château Leoville Poyferre været ejet af Cuvelier-familien og har siden 1979 været ledet af Didier Cuvelier, som har sikret sig støtte fra Michel Rolland.
