Gre za zvrst iz 79 % cabernet sauvignon, 11 % merlot in 10 % cabernet franc
Za nekatere je to najboljše vinsko v St-Julienu. Château Léoville Las Cases je eden od treh Léovilleov in je največji s 97 hektarji. Čeprav je 2-eme Cru Classé, mnogi menijo, da lahko konkurira najboljšim.
Konec zime je prinesel blage temperature, sledila je vlažna in hladna pomlad. Poletne razmere so bile suhe in vroče, a še vedno znotraj desetletnega povprečja. Trte so imele koristi od dobrega hidričnega stresa, ki ga prinašajo ugodne toplotne amplitude pred trgatvijo, za optimalno zorenje in koncentracijo kislin.
Deep, ruby red in colour and dense in texture.
The bouquet is intense and fruity, with blackcurrant, blueberry, forest undergrowth, leather, sweet spices and liquorice. The finish also includes liquorice, leather, chocolate and black truffles.
The taste is soft but also youthfully fresh with velvety tannins. The flavour is intense, noble and long-lasting. The structure is bold. A wine for which we recommend decanting a few hours before drinking, as it will express its noble character over time.
