Scores
96 / 100"Looking at the Grand Vin, the 2024 Château Léoville Poyferré is based on 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It shows deep purple hues and classic notes of cassis, lead pencil, graphite, crushed stone, and violets. Pure, polished, and elegant on the palate, it has perfectly ripe tannins and plays in the forward, charming style of the vintage while still delivering plenty of depth and richness. It's aging in 80% new French oak for 18 to 20 months. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"A bit closed and almost steely at the moment. At the same time, there is depth and huge structure, showing black cherries, mulberries, fine spices and violets. Full-bodied, this has heaps of very small-grained, dusty tannins on the palate and a long finish. A concentrated wine. Wait and see. - James Suckling"

"Blackcurrants, milk chocolate, raspberry and red cherry. Sleek and smooth, instantly silky and just so welcoming on the palate. This has concentration but with an almost sweet acidity, pure fruit and powdery tannins. It’s certainly not lacking in power, with a generous mouthfeel that’s really balanced between push, fun, fruitiness, acidity and tannins. A great Poyferré and success for the vintage. It doesn't shout, but it’s super enjoyable. Classy and chewy and fleshy while still having elegance. I love this. One of the few estates to use reverse osmosis to keep concentration. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Ageing 80% new oak. 3.71pH. Tasted three times. - Georgina Hindle"
