Château Léoville Las Cases

Château Léoville Las Cases

A great name in Bordeaux vineyards, no longer in need of introduction, rightly dubbed the "Premier des Seconds crus". A very old Médoc property, Domaine was seized during the French Revolution, then divided into three Léoville estates between 1826 and 1840: Barton and Poyferré and Las Cases, the original Domaine of Marquis Pierre-Jean Las Cases.

During the 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition, Château Léoville Las Cases was crowned Second Grand Cru Classé, and became the property of the Delon family at the end of the century. Today, Jean-Hubert Delon is in charge of its management.

The vineyard of Domaine covers some 60 hectares, 55 of which are fully enclosed within the famous Las Cases enclosure, on a high-quality terroir facing the Gironde estuary. The soils are composed of gravel and the subsoils are gravelly-sandy, containing a proportion of clay. The grape varieties are 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc, with an average age of 30 years. The wines are aged for 18 months in 50% new barrels.

Since 2007, Domaine has produced a Second wine, Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases.

The wines of Léoville Las Cases have left their mark on the wine world, asserting themselves as complex, refined and profound, aging with elegance.

Description Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases 2015.

The 2015 vintage got off to a good start with well-replenished Réserves of water. April, sunny and particularly warm in its first fortnight, triggered a rapid and regular bud-break, laying the foundations for a vintage that would prove to be uncommonly homogeneous.

In fact, all the key stages took place under ideal conditions: the fine weather at the end of May and beginning of June enabled flowering to proceed rapidly and evenly for all grape varieties.

The continuation of this exceptionally fine weather then allowed moderate water stress to set in from mid-July, at a stage that was highly beneficial for the synthesis of polyphenol precursors. Rainfall at the end of July and beginning of August came at just the right time to ensure that veraison progressed smoothly, rapidly and evenly.

From mid-August to the harvest, the ripening phase then took place under conditions that alternated between sunny spells and stormy showers, with rather mild temperatures in September allowing the grapes to retain their fresh aromas.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
