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.

The 2023 Léoville Las Cases is a total stunner. Dark, layered and seamless, it explodes from the glass with dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and new leather. The 2023 boasts all of the power and explosive energy that this site is known for, but with more refined tannins than in the past. Brisk saline notes punctuate the driving, virile finish. Las Cases is, without question, one of the wines of the vintage.
So subtle and complex, with aromas of violets, lavender, dark roses and fresh currants. Very open. A wonderful hint of herbs. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that give a multilayered texture to his and a savory, succulent finish that emphasizes brightness and length. Tangy and vivid at the end. Primary and pure. 86% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc and 4% merlot. Best after 2028, but exciting to taste now.
The 2023 Léoville Las Cases is deep garnet-purple in color. It strides confidently out of the glass with pure, intense notes of cassis, black raspberries, and wild blueberries, followed by hints of Indian spices, fragrant soil, and lavender oil, with a touch of baker’s chocolate. The medium-bodied palate is super-intense, with taut, tight-knit black fruit, floral, and savory layers supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and fantastic tension, finishing very long and perfumed. Absolutely magnificent. The blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Merlot, with a pH of 3.79, alcohol of 13.1%, and TPI 72. It was aged for around 18 months in French oak barriques, 80% new.
