A solid second wine with firm and silky tannins. Full and racy with a mineral and blueberry after taste. Good intensity.

Attractively ripe, this second wine from Château Léoville las Cases is initially fruity. The structure comes through only slowly to reveal itself.The wine is ripe yet shot through with acidity. Likely to develop quickly.

Sleek and well-rendered, this features an iron note that runs from start to finish, along with ganache, charcoal, pastis and crushed plum and blackberry fruit. Not as dense as the top examples, but offers textbook typicity, solid drive and a long finish. Best from 2014 through 2024.
Chateau Leoville-Las Cases was one of the largest Bordeaux vineyards before divided several times over the years. Uniquely they still share their building with Leoville Poyferre, a separate estate. They were the first Bordeaux to officially have a second wine. Their wine is well structured and critics often describe it is as a first growth in everything but name.
