The fine wine of Château Léoville Las Cases is distinguished by a resolutely classic and structured style, typical of the great appellations of the Médoc. It reveals a deep ruby-hued robe, a nose of great precision blending blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco and the characteristic mineral notes of Saint-Julien's gravels. On the palate, the substance is dense, with a remarkably silky tannin texture for such a full-bodied wine. It is a wine for ageing par excellence, which generally requires several years in the cellar to reveal its full complexity.
