Beautiful bright garnet. Very classic nose. Elegant. Supple, soft palate but also rich and well-balanced. A second wine that is worth many firsts.

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.
