Produced by the winemaking team of Léoville Las Cases from a separate part of the estate. The 2014 is a Cabernet-led Saint-Julien (74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc): dense dark fruit, firm structure, and a wine built to age.
Rated 94 points by Wine Enthusiast and 92 points by Wine Advocate. A fine gift for a Left Bank drinker who wants a classic Saint-Julien with years ahead of it.
Tasting notes
Wine Advocate: layers of blackberry, raspberry coulis, incense and iris, medium-bodied with a gentle grip, graphite-infused red and black fruit, fresh and focused, with a touch of graphite from over the border in Pauillac. Wine Enthusiast: dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon, dense with tannins as well as dark fruit; firm, powerful and very fine for long-term ageing.
