‘A vivid, mesmerizing wine, the 2015 Léoville Las Cases is stunning in its beauty’
Antonio Galloni
A marvel of the Médoc Léoville Lascases has a luxurious purity and intensity which deserves serious attention. The largest of the three Leoville estates they are able to pick and choose only the best grapes to make the Grand Vin. At the centre of the property lies the legendary ‘grand enclos’, the entrance to which is a quaint stone arch replete with resting lion (which adorns the label).
Concentration and depth define the wine in 2015 – as it so often does. In part this can be attributed to this being the highest proportion of Cabernet ever utilised. Classic cassis emerges with undertones of wispy smoke, truffle and sultry, succulent fruit. When discussing this wine, our team who tasted it in Bordeaux, start reeling off adjectives of praise and enthusiasm. They confidently declare that, for them, this was the jewel of St-Julien this vintage. This may likely prove to be one of the legends of tomorrow set to join the heroic vintages of the past.

Château Léoville Lascases 2015, 2ème Cru, St Julien 
Jean-Hubert Delon has crafted an extremely pure and tensile bouquet, almost pixelated with blackberry, briary, slate and oyster shell aromas that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, svelte and sensual on the entry, the tannins a little edgy with a gentle crescendo: black fruit, tons of minerals, real focus and precision towards the finish. This is a superlative Léoville Las-Cases with the substance to suggest long-term aging will be repaid.
