The Château Léoville Las Cases 1976, Saint-Julien 2nd Grand Cru Classé, reveals a gravelly terroir. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged 18 months in barrels (50% new), it offers a nose of cedar and leather, with a velvety palate. Perfect with game, served at 17–18°C.
Nestled in the heart of Saint-Julien, this emblematic estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence for generations, combining tradition and precision.
- Terroir : Deep gravelly soils over a gravelly-clay subsoil, the hallmark of the appellation's greatest wines, imparting structure and minerality.
- Vinification : A meticulous aging in barrels (50% new), yielding cuvées of rare elegance, both powerful and refined.
To the eye – A tiled, deep and slightly evolved robe, hinting at a silky, almost velvety texture.
On the nose – First notes of damp undergrowth and cedar, then deeper aromas of candied prune, roasted cocoa and aged leather, lifted by a saline and mentholated touch.
On the palate – A precise attack, carried by smooth yet still present tannins, a lively acidity that brings tension, and a chalky minerality on the finish, prolonged by hints of liquorice and blonde tobacco.
Serve between 17 and 18 °C, in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
A vintage marked by early ripeness and rare balance, where the summer heat concentrated the fruit while preserving a mineral freshness.
- Aging potential : At its peak today, this wine can still be kept for 5 to 10 years under optimal conditions (cool and humid cellar).
