2022 Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru Classe, Saint-Julien 6x75cl

Chateau Leoville Las Cases

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 99

Drink To: 2032-2080

Starting out as the “second wine” of Leoville-Las-Cases, Clos du Marquis soon became a standalone wine in its own right. Its 45-hectare vineyard is surrounded by some of the most prestigious classified growths in Saint-Julien and therefore benefits from a similar terroir of humic podzol over sandy-clay gravel. When tasting, the Le Clos du Marquis shows itself to be typically Saint-Julien. Excellent structure, complexity and harmony exemplify this.

The 2022 Leoville Las-Cases was picked 8-30 September with more infusion than extraction, matured in 84% new oak. Precocious, almost decadent blackberry and blueberry fruit on the nose, there is something lavish and audacious about this Saint-Julien. There is an underlying estuarine element, a whiff off the banks of the Gironde. The palate is medium-bodied with polished tannins, very detailed, extremely pure, what you might call a "vertical" Las-Cases with fabulous precision on the finish. This surpasses the 2018-2020 trio and to use that cliched expression, is a "tour de force".
