The Winery

Leoville Las Cases

The history of Leoville Las Cases can be traced back to the 17th century. A neighbor to Château Latour, this Saint-Julien estate is a second growth producer releasing around 180,000 bottles of its Grand Vin, and 250,000 bottles of its second label Clos du Marquis. It is one of three parts to Leoville, the others being Barton and Poyferre. The most impressive of the three vineyards, will stop a taster in its tracks.

Leoville Las Cases made history by being the first Bordelais Château to introduce a second label, and again when it took 6th place in the Judgement of Paris in 1976. Many regard Leoville Las Cases as a “super second”, meaning that the wines stand up to its neighboring first growths. The estate consistently produces beautiful wines.

Tasting Notes

WE95
A seriously dense and solid wine, that is however balanced with fruity acidity. The ripe tannins march comfortably with the fruit. This is a wonderfully rich wine, the juicy fruit giving an extra to the structure.
AP94
Deep ruby purple. Dark, blackberry fruit flavours with hints of green pepper and cedarbox. Well made with spicy notes in the finish and firm tannins. A long-term aging wine that will open up in the next several years. This wine was tasted blind alongside 24 other top Cabernet-based reds from around the world. Tasted in: Hong Kong, China. Maturity: Young.
