Tasting Notes
Goedhuis, April 2016, Score: 94-96
A wine of huge concentration, depth and, most importantly of all, polish. This is an outstanding Las Cases with 85% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a wonderfully layered wine, focusing on dark cassis fruit, with hints of liquorice and black toffee. It balances a touch of St Julien grace and sweetness, with the typically bold structure that one expects from this fine château marching alongside its neighbour, the great Ch Latour.
Producer
Château Léoville Las Cases
If ever another wine gets promoted to first growth category, Léoville Les Cases will undoubtedly bethe one. Owned by the Delon family, this château is comprised of 97 hectares of vineyards. However,unlike most of its Médoc neighbours, it only uses the vineyards classified in the original 1855 classification, an area called "Le Grand Enclos", to make its grand vin.
Region
St Julien, Red Bordeaux
St Julien is like the middle child of the Médoc - not as assertive as Pauillac or as coquettish as Margaux. It lies firmly between the two more outspoken communes and as a result produces a blend of them both. St Julien's wines have often been sought out by aficionados for their balance and consistency, particularly in the UK. Yet due to its middle child nature, it can occasionally be overlooked globally and as a result underrated by those markets outside the UK. Despite the fact that it has no first growths, it has several second growths including Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton, Léoville Poyferré and Ducru Beaucaillou as well as the celebrated châteaux such as Talbot and Beychevelle.
