25 Years of Harvests – Isabelle Davin
|
Date : 27 October 2025
Yet 2025 is no ordinary vintage: it marks the 25th harvest of Isabelle Davin, Oenologist at Château Léoville Poyferré and Château Le Crock since the 2000 vintage.
A pioneer among female oenologists in the Médoc, Isabelle has accompanied a quarter-century of evolution and innovation. From the 2000 vintage, the first she signed, to 2020, celebrating the Cuvelier family’s centenary at the helm of Léoville Poyferré, and now this symbolic 2025 vintage, her journey embodies twenty-five years of passion, precision, and quiet determination.
« The great challenge is never to make wines uniform, but rather to express the true personality of each terroir. Every vintage, beyond the quality of the wines, always tells a human and collective story, » she shares with emotion.
Driven by the same high standards as on her very first harvest, Isabelle continues to craft each vintage with rigour and sensitivity, true to the Cuvelier family’s philosophy: preserving the soul of the terroir while seeking the most authentic expression of the wine.
