Cellar Tracker March - 2025

The 1979 Léoville Las Cases was a great surprise. In appearance, it showed a slight brown tone with some sediment, reflecting its age. The initial nose presented ripe plum, cherry, earthy tones, and leather, all beautifully integrated. On the palate, the wine had a wonderful mouthfeel with fully resolved tannins, offering a seamless and elegant texture. Tasted side by side with a 2016 Léoville Poyferré Pavillon, the 1979 Las Cases completely outshone it, displaying remarkable depth, complexity, and layered nuances that evolved beautifully in the glass. A stunning example of a mature Bordeaux at its peak.

Almost opaque. Vigorous nose: tar, ink, blackcurrant & soot. Very tannic & full-bodied palate. Damsons. But harmonious and smooth. Like an 86 - very Cabernet Sauvignon dominated. Liquorice/coffee notes on the finish. Opulent stylish Las Cases - the best of the 70's.

Ruby red color, with vermilion reflections. Evolving. Very bright. Very beautiful and intense. Clean and intense nose. Nuances of ripe fruit, touch of wood and spice. Cedar note. Fine, complex and rather open. On swirling, clean and intense. Quite powerful. Balsamic and rich (caramel, vanilla, spice.) Very fresh. Clean, soft and fruity attack. Development on a fleshy, elongated, very well-balanced structure which evolves with a fine, rather juicy tactile contact, towards a rounded finish that fades gently, quite elegant and already melted. Charming. Very good. Ready to drink.

Medium-bodied, bright, crisp red fruits are at the core of the wine. On the secondary side, the tobacco, forest leaf, earth, peppery spice and herbs add color the piquant red berry notes. Frim and crisp, with a sharp cherry/cranberry, spice and tobacco note in the finish, the wine reqires drinking.

Château Leoville Las Cases

Château Léoville Las Cases is a wine estate located in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the Gironde department. In the Saint-Julien Médoc AOC, it is classified as a second growth in the 1855 classification.

The estate comprises 97 hectares of vineyards. The vineyard adjoins that of Château Latour, separated by the small Juillac stream. At the heart of the estate lies the Grand Clos, a 50-hectare vineyard entirely enclosed by walls, with its entrance guarded by the famous lion adorning the labels of the estate's bottles. The vineyard of Château Léoville Las Cases features a grape variety composition of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine ages for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, on average 50 to 100% new.

The second wine is Clos du Marquis. It has been produced since 1902. Anecdote: In a scene from the film 'L'Aile ou la Cuisse' (The Wing or the Thigh), the food critic Charles Duchemin (played by Louis de Funès) manages to identify a Léoville Las Cases 1953 'visually' even though he has lost his sense of taste.
