EnquiryProducer Profile
Leoville Las Cases: A 2nd Growth That Can Challenge First Growths
The St Julien 2nd Growth Estate of Chateau Leoville Las Cases is one of the Left Bank of Bordeaux’s elite wines. Located on the edge of the appellation with vineyards abutting those of the mighty Chateau Latour on one side, this is a statuesque and towering wine that is renowned for its capacity to age.
The Grand Vin represents around 45% of production, and with the 2nd wine Le Petit Lion, around 10%. Also look out for Clos du Marquis, which is not a second wine, but comes from its own specific parcel of vines.
The style and substance of Leoville Las Cases
Las Cases is located on the Leoville plateau and the deep gravel soils here are perfect for the Cabernet Sauvignon that dominates the blend. In recent years, Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for around 80%, with Cabernet Franc and Merlot making up the balance.
The style is one of authority, structure and complexity. Las Cases is Bordeaux at its most aristocratic and confident. It is not a wine to drink young, but rewards, perhaps even demands cellaring to show at its complex best.
A First Growth Rival
Las Cases has a reputation for challenging the First Growths in sheer brilliance. For Robert Parker, “Leoville-Las Cases is unquestionably one of the great names and wines of Bordeaux… consistently of first-growth quality”. Jane Anson highlights how it “is often compared to its Pauillac neighbour Latour in profile”. Praise does not come much higher.

Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com 16.5
Looks a little more evolved than Leoville Barton and it s not one of the monolithic vintages for this property. A little middle of the road, in fact. Light minty note.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2038
Antonio Galloni 93
The 2012 Leoville-Las-Cases offers lovely up front voluptuousness, something I am almost shocked to write about one of the Left Bank’s most notoriously slow agers. Sweet red cherry, dried flowers and pipe tobacco scents meld into a translucent, mid-weight Las Cases that should drink relatively early by this wine’s standard. The silky finish only adds to the wine’s considerable early appeal. The blend is 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2042
Wine Advocate 93
The bigger sister or brother of Le Petit Lion, depending on your point of view, the 2012 Leoville Las Cases has gorgeous minerality, plenty of blueberry and blackcurrant fruit that is super-pure, an opaque ruby/purple color, medium body and firm structured, slightly austere personality. This wine is built for the long-term. A blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc, it attained 13.5% alcohol, which is substantial for a 2012 Medoc. It has depth and richness, but also a boatload of tannin. Forget it for 8-10 years and drink over the following 15-20.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2043
Vinous 92-94
(74% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot and 11% cabernet franc; 3.6 pH; 5.4 g/l total acidity; 70 IPT; 13.5% alcohol; 80% new oak; 33 h/h): Dark ruby-red. Spice and vanillin nuances complicate red cherry, blackcurrant, cedar and graphite on the captivating, classic nose. Then suave and refined in the mouth, with clean flavors of blackcurrant, cedar and herbs. Finishes very long and pure, with insidious complexity and atypical levels of sweet creamy flesh for a 2012 Bordeaux from the Left Bank. I found this outstanding wine to be very LLC in style, not unlike a lighter version of the 2010. The grapes were picked on 12 different days between October 4 and 18. For my money, it’s one of the two best wines from the Left Bank in 2012.
