    Product description

    Once part of the Leoville estates (including Leoville Poyferre and Leoville Barton), Château Leoville Las cases is the most prestigious of the three.

    Intense aromas of ripe black currant with notes of liquorice and leather. Full bodied and rich with great concentration of fruits and good acidity. Great length.

    Awards

    Blended of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet colored 2010 Léoville Las Cases delivers tons of evolving black fruits on the nose with notes of crème de cassis, prunes and incense plus wafts of cloves, cedar, cigar box and powdered cinnamon. Full-bodied, rich, bold and decadently fruited, it has a solid frame of grainy tannins, and the oak is faintly notable on the palate. It finishes impressively with long-lingering mineral notes. This one probably needs 3-5 more years to really hit its stride! 2023-2060

    About the producer: Château Léoville Las Cases

    Once part of the Léoville estates (including Léoville Barton and Léoville Poyferré), Château Léoville Las Cases is located in St Julien next to Chateau Latour and is owned by the Domaine Delon. Passionate winemaker Michel Delon, who only selected the best grapes for its wines, declassified 50% of his crops in 1986 and 67% in 1990 in order to create one of the best wines of the Medoc. His son is now in charge of the Domaine following his father’s steps. Their wines are traditional and require patience. View our selection.

    Vineyard & Winemaking

    The 97 hectares of vines are planted with 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with an average of 40 years old vine. The wines are matured in oak barriques (70-80% new) for 18 months.

    Wines Produced

    Château Léoville Las Cases and Clos du Marquis, both very dark in colour with firm tannins and great concentration of fruits. Since 2007 they also produce Le Petit Lion (second wine of Château Léoville Las Cases)
