Château Léoville Las Cases Saint Julien 2cc. 2020 1,5l
Grand Vin de Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases is the flagship wine of this famed Saint-Julien estate. The Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend comes from the walled heart of the vineyard, with deep gravel over clay soils bordering the Gironde estuary. The bouquet evokes cassis, blackberry, violet, graphite, cedar and a touch of tobacco. On the palate it is dense and powerful yet silky in texture, with fine-grained tannins and a cool, precise freshness. Ageing in a high proportion of new French oak adds structure and impressive length. A benchmark Saint-Julien, ideal with roasted beef, lamb or game birds and built for long ageing.
Behind an old stone wall, on Saint‑Julien’s northern edge toward Pauillac, lies the famed “Clos” of Château Léoville Las Cases. Rooted in the 17th century and shaped by the historic break‑up of the larger Léoville estate, it was ranked in 1855 as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé....
