Other Reviews....
There's a gorgeous nectarine-like character that runs through Les Poyeux when young and the 2016 is no different. It's silky and seductive in a non-opulent way. Finesse is a word that crops up repeatedly when I tasted this wine: finesse of fragrance - this is delightfully perfumed, pure and precise; finesse of tannins with their fine chalky texture. It is long, scented and charming, thus it could be approached now if you wished but it has a medium to long life ahead. Drink 2022-2036.

Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous

This wine has lovely smoky aromas infused with liquorice, expressing the nicely integrated oak. Raspberry fruit dominates the juicy palate, which is structured by polished tannins and sustained by a fresh, floral finish. Aeration may be required to dissipate some reductive notes, including a pleasant bitterness. Drink 2027 - 2034.
