Château Léoville Las-Cases
About Château Léoville Las-Cases
Château Léoville-Las Cases was one of the largest Bordeaux vineyards before divided several times over the years. Unquestionably one of the greatest names of the Left Bank, there are numerous Bordeaux insiders who consider Château Léoville Las Cases to be a First Growth in all but name. Often compared to its neighbour just over the border in Pauillac, Château Latour, there are similarities between the two titans. Namely, the monolithic structure and unfathomably fine tannins - the mark of truly great wine.
Château Léoville Las Cases has long had a reputation for wines of complexity and power. Incredibly long-lived, the only complaint levelled at this iconic producer over the past decades is that their wines required substantial patience!

Wine Advocate (92-94)The 2018 Le Petit Lion is blended of 45% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Cabernet Franc, harvested from September 15 to October 4 with yields of 35.5 hectoliters per hectare. The wine has 14.47% alcohol and will be aged in barriques, 30% new. The finished blend was put into barrels last December. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives a wonderfully perfumed nose of violets, star anise and fragrant soil over a core of plum preserves, blackberry pie and blueberry compote plus a waft of spice cake. The palate is rich, seductive and spicy with plush, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and opulent. Love it! |

Jeb Dunnuck (100)Pure magic and one of the finest expressions of this estate I could imagine, as well as a perfect wine, the 2018 Château Léoville Las Cases comes from a mix of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in (I believe) all new French oak. Its dense purple color is followed by a profound wine loaded with notions of crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, melon, crushed stone, tobacco, and violets. Full-bodied, concentrated, and massive on the palate, yet also incredibly well delineated and precise, it has a wonderful mix of seemingly ripe, sunny fruit from a warm year yet the minerality, purity, and precision of a cooler year. This wine is going to be just about immortal; however, do your best to hide bottles for a solid 10-15 years. |
