Clos du Marquis is a renowned Domaine vineyard located in the Saint-Julien appellation, in the heart of the Médoc. Renowned for the exceptional quality of its wines, Château boasts a rich history and benefits from an exceptional terroir.
The history of Clos du Marquis dates back to the 18th century, when the Marquis de Las Cases, owner of the famous Château Léoville-Las Cases, decided to create a separate parcel called Clos du Marquis. This special parcel was delimited to produce wines from the vines closest to the Marquis' home, thus benefiting from optimal conditions.
Over the generations, the de Las Cases family has continued to develop and refine the Clos du Marquis vineyard. Today, Château is owned by the Delon family, who also own Château Léoville-Las Cases. The Delon's have maintained the integrity of Domaine while bringing their expertise and commitment to quality winemaking.
The Clos du Marquis terroir is a major asset to the quality of its wines. The vines extend over nearly 45 hectares of gravelly soils typical of the Médoc region. These gravelly soils are made up of pebbles, providing excellent drainage and optimal heat retention for the vines. In addition, the proximity of the Gironde estuary contributes to a climate favorable to grape ripening.

2017 was an early vintage, characterized by budburst in the third dekad of March, following a winter that was much less wet than last year. The start of the vegetative cycle was marked by widespread morning frost throughout Bordeaux, particularly during the night of April 26. The second half of June was marked by very hot weather (35°C to 38°C), followed by 70mm of rain at bunch closure, which compensated for the lack of water. Veraison was very rapid and even.
July and August were sunny and temperate, punctuated by light showers that helped the grapes develop rapidly. Despite the rainy start to September, the attention paid to the vineyard enabled the grapes to reach full ripeness and maintain a very good state of health right up to the last days of the harvest.
The 2017 vintage gave us some beautifully ripe 1st wines and some Secnd wines that were particularly successful thanks to the attention paid to the young vines. The Merlots are rich, the Cabernets Francs fine and elegant, and the Cabernets Sauvignons powerful and structured. The tannic structure is powerful yet very silky and elegant, stretching to a particularly long, complex finish.
