Description

The 2009 made Moulin Riche’s new reputation; in my view, the ’10 is even better. The bouquet is confidently poised between adolescence and maturity; it contains the last of its primary blackcurrant fruit, with notes of tobacco and cedar beginning to insinuate. The palate is an object lesson in balance: mellow but still active tannins, creamy yet textured fruit and a cleansing finish. This is dead centre in its arc of maturity. It could be kept another five years but, with the elements so perfectly aligned, why would you wait? Drink now to 2026.

Critics reviews

Stephen Tanzer 89/100
(57% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot and 10% petit verdot): Good bright, deep ruby-red. Very dark aromas of cassis and spices show a medicinal reserve. Then supple and stylish on the palate, with good early appeal to the flavors of dark berries, chocolate, mocha, smoke and leather. Finishes with dusty, chalky tannins and good length. A very good vintage for this wine, which is made by Chateau Leoville-Poyferre from a vineyard located next to Chateau Talbot. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com.com (July 2013)

Robert Parker 87/100
This blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 11% Petit Verdot, with Michel Rolland as the consultant, displays a deep ruby/purple color and possesses straightforward notes of black and red currants intermixed with cedar wood, roasted herbs and underbrush. It is a medium-bodied, silky-textured wine to drink over the next 10-15 years. In a sense, this used to be the second wine of Leoville Poyferre, but like Clos de Marquis and La Croix de Beaucaillou, it is now a separate wine from a completely distinct vineyard owned by Leoville Poyferre. robert_parker- Wine Advocate- Feb 2013

James Molesworth 90-93/100
Juicy and vivid, with lots of raspberry, cassis and blackberry fruit woven with a perfumy black tea note. There's plenty of grip on the back end, but this is lush and has melded nicely already. james_molesworth – The Wine Spectator – Apr 2011

About this wine

Château Léoville Poyferré

Château Léoville Poyferré is a wine estate in St Julien on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. It was once part a larger estate called Léoville, which was established in 1638 and divided up centuries later following the death of its owner. That original estate gave rise to the three separate properties now called Léoville Barton, Léoville Las Cases and Léoville Poyferré. The latter took its name in 1840 from Baron Jean-Marie de Poyferré, who inherited the estate along with his wife, the daughter of Jeanne de Las Cases. Léoville Poyferré, like Barton and Las Cases, was ranked a Second Growth in the 1855 classification.
