Alcohol: 13%
Grape(s): 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc
Localization: Saint-Julien, Medoc, Bordeaux, France
Tasting Notes: Rich, ripe, and elegant, this wine comes from a separate parcel of Léoville las Cases that is treated as a distinct wine. With fine, dusty tannins and juicy acidity, it offers both richness and black currants from the Cabernet Sauvignon. It needs to age and should be ready to drink from 2025.
95 points James Suckling: Extremely perfumed with blackberries, plums and bark. Lemon-rind undertones. Full-bodied, creamy, velvety and voluptuous yet focused and pinpointed. Intense dark-berry and chocolate flavors. Really well done.
