A widely-renowned Second Growth located at the Northern end of Saint-Julien close to the Pauillac border, Chateau Léoville-Poyferré consistently produces one of the very best wines on the Left Bank, and certainly one of the most in demand. The Cuvelier family has been active in the wine industry since the early 1800s, and their winemaking expertise is not limited to Léoville Poyferré alone - their other wines in Bordeaux and Argentina have also received accolades for the exceptional quality.

Château Moulin Riche is produced from a specific part of the estate’s vineyard stretching over 22 hectares. The name Moulin Riche comes from the lieu dit, the name of the specific geographical place. Further from the estuary, it covers 22 hectares planted on a gravel rise from the Mindel I glacial period (480 000 BC). On the surface, the sandy gravel soil is rich in humus. The typical blend is majority Cabernet Sauvignon, 20-35% Merlot, 5-20% Petit Verdot.

The second wine of Château Léoville Poyferré, Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré, benefits from the same care as its big brother, both in the vineyard and in the cellars. Bursting with fruit, this bright, attractive wine is accessible in its youth. The typical blend is majority Cabernet Sauvignon, 10-40% Merlot, 5-20% Petit Verdot and up to 10% Cabernet Franc.

Chateau Léoville Poyferré 2011 (95 DE)

Densely-structured fruit backed up by firm tannins, not as ready to drink as some of the St-Juliens, and I would give it another three or four years to fully soften - or keep open for a good few hours before drinking. This is impressive for the vintage, it delivers both precision and creamy blackberry fruit. 6% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040 - Jane Anson, Decanter

Chateau Léoville Poyferré 2012 (94 VM)

A dark, fleshy wine, the Léoville Poyferré 2012 is round, succulent and deeply expressive. Dark red cherry, plum, mocha, graphite and lavender are fused together in an effortless, silky Saint-Julien built on texture. Striking and totally beautiful, the 2012 will be ready to deliver its charms early. All the elements are in the right place. This is a gorgeous showing from Léoville-Poyferré. The 2012 is perhaps not an epic wine, but is gorgeous today and should provide considerable pleasure over the next 15-20 years. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Chateau Moulin Riche 2014 (91 VM)

The 2014 Moulin Riche is a very pretty wine from the sister estate of the Cuvelier family, who also own Leoville-Poyferre. Medium in body, with good underlying structure, the 2014 offers notable complexity and nuance. Smoke, tobacco, licorice and a host of dark-fleshed fruit notes confer a measure of gravitas. The blend is 53 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 27 % Merlot and 20 % Petit Verdot. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Chateau Moulin Riche 2016 (92+ VM)

In 2016 Moulin Riche is absolutely gorgeous. Fresh, vibrant and full of energy, the 2016 is impressive today. The wine appears to have shed some baby fat and gained in aromatic complexity over the last two years. Sweet red-toned fruit, rose petal, mint and chalk lend understatement to the classy, mid-weight Saint-Julien. The 2016 was bottled at the end of May (earlier than many other Left Bank wines) and might be entering a period of closure. Still, I find a lot to admire. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré 2015 (93 JS)

In spite of the generous ripe fruit, this also has the cool elegance and slightly austere finish of St.-Julien. Considerable intensity without any sense of heaviness make this an impressive example of modern winemaking. Second wine of Château Léoville Poyferré. - James Suckling

Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré 2016 (93 JS)

A cornucopia of ripe black cherries and blackberries here, married to full, supple and beautifully integrated tannins and just enough acidity to prevent it tipping over into sweetness. Long, silky finish. Second wine of Château Léoville Poyferré. A blend of 61 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 27 per cent merlot, eight per cent petit verdot and four per cent cabernet franc. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
