“Let yourself go and sink into this deep dark chasm that will swallow you whole if you let it. Enormous concentration, but every bit as much finesse, the finish extremely long and fine. And this is just beginning to give its best! Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)”
The Estate
Domaine de Léoville, one of the oldest vineyards in the Médoc. The present-day terroir of the Grand Vin dates back to the 17th century. The gateway, emblem of the Estate, opens onto a clos of around 55 ha enclosed by a stone wall, which marks out its terroir and stretches from the village of Saint-Julien to Château Latour. It is within this clos that the Grand Vin de Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases is produced. Since the end of the 19th century, Léoville las Cases has been run by the same family, currently represented by Mr Jean-Hubert Delon, the sole owner.
