Avis d'expert

90 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(2-1998)
While not as backward as the 1996, the opaque purple-colored 1995 is a tannic, unevolved, dense, concentrated wine that will require 8-10 years of cellaring. The 1995 exhibits toast, blackcurrant, mineral, and subtle tobacco in its complex yet youthful aromatics. Powerful, dense, concentrated cassis and blueberry flavors might be marginally softer than in the 1996, but there is still plenty of grip and structure to this big wine.

Wine Spectator

(2007)
Black licorice and currants on the nose. Very fragrant. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish.

4 / 5

Michael Broadbent

2-(3-2001)
Velvety, fragrant, blackcurrant plus a whiff of singed peat; shapely, moderately substantial, lean, dry and austere.

Château informations

Leoville Poyferre

During the reign of Louis XIII in 1638, Master John Moytié, ennobled bourgeois Bordeaux and adviser to the Parliament of Bordeaux, had planted a vineyard on a mountain of graves near the river. This place earned the name "Mount Moytié" according to the use of time to designate a place by the name of its owner. Mount Moytié was part of the first historic growths of the Medoc, all born before the Fronde (1648-1653) like "Chateau Margaux", the "Tour de Saint-Lambert" or the "Chateau La Fitte" in Pauillac or the Castle Calon, in Saint-Estephe. The Médoc was giving birth to her first parish estates.This beautiful wine from the old Leoville estate north of St. Julien is one of the best terroirs of the appellation and surely the richest of the second growths. The 80 hectares planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc, give a deep, rich wine. The Chateau Leoville Poyferre produces elegant wines, very fine, balanced and complex, intense color, and velvety texture, and is disposed to have a very good aging potential.
