Beskrivelse

Château Léoville Las Cases er en af Médocs mest legendariske ejendomme – et “Super Second”, der ofte præsterer på niveau med de største Premier Crus. Slottet har været i Delon-familiens eje siden 1901, og i dag viderefører Jean-Hubert Delon arven med en kompromisløs tilgang til præcision og terroirtroskab. Vinmarkerne ligger i det berømte Clos de Léoville Las Cases, lige på grænsen til Pauillac og i direkte naboskab til Château Latour – et terroir, der giver vine med en enestående kombination af kraft, dybde og finesse.

Årgang 2020 består af 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc og 8% Merlot, høstet mellem 12. og 27. september. Det er en vin med intensitet og struktur, men også med den polerede elegance, der kendetegner huset. Duften byder på solbær, grafit og viol, mens smagen er tæt, harmonisk og lang, med fornem friskhed og præcision. Léoville Las Cases 2020 er et monument over klassisk Saint-Julien – kompleks, rank og skabt til at ældes med ynde gennem årtier.

    Another 2020 that's going to demand patience, the 2020 Château Léoville Las Cases is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend that includes 11% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot that was raised in 80% new French oak. It's a regal, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, flawlessly balanced 2020 with a pure core of cassis and darker currant fruits, a layered, seamless mouthfeel that carries substantial tannins, perfectly integrated oak, and subtle floral, mineral, and leafy herb nuances. Playing in the concentrated yet focused and structured style of the vintage, it's going to need a decade to hit the early phases of its prime drinking window and will have 50-75 years of longevity.

    The 2020 Léoville Las Cases has developed into a powerhouse. Then again, that is Las Cases. En primeur, I thought the 2020 was a bit shy, but its true personality has to emerge. Blackberry jam, gravel, spice, menthol, licorice, espresso and plum all saturate the palate. Vivid and explosive, the 2020 is dizzyingly rich, with plenty of Las Cases tannins that will require patience. I am not sure when the 2020 will be ready to drink, but it won't be anytime soon. Las Cases is one of the wines of the vintage in 2020, that much is pretty clear.

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Château Léoville Las Cases er ubetinget en af de største vine, der produceres på Médoc, og måske den største i Saint-Julien. Elegance og balance er nøgleordene. Ejendommen er også en af de ældste i regionen, og måske den mest velkendte.

Léoville Las Cases kræver mange års lagring for at kunne fremvise hele sit enorme potentiale. Der venter til gengæld den tålmodige en meget stor vinoplevelse, måske en af de allerfineste fra hele Bordeauxregionen.
