Omschrijving
Château Léoville Las Cases is een van de oudste domeinen in de Médoc. Het château behoort sinds 1901 tot de familie Delon en staat bekend als "Super Second". Het terroir ligt met name in de Clos van Léoville Las Cases, bij het verlaten van Saint-Julien in de richting van Pauillac. Het ligt deels direct naast Château Latour. De maar liefst 97 hectare wijngaarden in het kleine Saint-Julien zijn beplant met cabernet sauvignon en cabernet franc. De wijnen zijn complex, gepolijst en uniek en genieten sinds jaar en dag een grote bekendheid.

Robert Parker
“A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and only 4% Merlot, the 2023 Léoville Las Cases is one of the more serious, structured wines of the vintage, reminiscent of a modern-day version of the estate's excellent 2001. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, cassis and plums mingled with hints of licorice, mint and creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a taut core of fruit, lively acids and plenty of fine, youthfully firm tannins. It will require and reward patience.”

Vinous
“The 2023 Léoville Las-Cases was picked from September 9 to October 2 at 43hL/ha and matured in 80% new oak barrels. This has a very precise bouquet, and, like the Clos du Marquis, it is imbued with an attractive estuarine element-aromatics that transport the imbiber to the banks of the Gironde. The oak is neatly integrated; 80% is much more optimal than 100% would have been. The palate is lightly spiced on the entry, moderately deep and quite lively on the mid-palate. This is a more linear Las-Cases than recent vintages, conveying a sense of "seriousness" toward the almost saturnine finish. Impressive in terms of persistence, this is a worthy follow-up to the magnificent 2022, but it will demand patience”.

James Suckling
“Exceptional quality of cabernet comes through here, with a lot of graphite, lead pencil, crushed stone, walnut and currant fruit. It grows and expands on the palate, remaining in focus at the same time. Refined and seamless with beautiful tannins that show power and intensity. It rolls across the palate with verve. 86% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc and 4% merlot”.
