Clos du Marquis, 2nd wine of Château Léoville-Las Cases

Clos du Marquis, of Château Léoville-Las Cases, represents a refined version of the estate's high-quality offerings. Typically, it features a deep ruby color and an expressive bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, cherries, and plums, enhanced by notes of cedar, graphite, and subtle tobacco. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with well-structured tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, and a touch of earthiness emerge, leading to a smooth, elegant finish. Clos du Marquis is valued for its accessibility and elegance, reflecting the classic Saint-Julien profile with a slightly earlier approachability compared to its prestigious parent wine.
