The Château Léoville Las Cases 1989, a fine wine from Saint-Julien, reveals blackcurrant, cedar and tobacco after 18 months in barrels. On the palate, velvety texture, chalky minerality and persistent freshness. Ideal with game or aged cheese, this vintage still offers a fine aging potential.

Tasting notes for Château Léoville Las Cases 1989
To the eye – A deep ruby robe with blue-black highlights, dense and luminous, heralding a wine that is both generous and refined.
On the nose – First lively and fruity (blackcurrant, wild blackberry), then deeper with notes of cedar, blonde tobacco and graphite, before a saline touch and a hint of black truffle.
On the palate – A silky and velvety texture, carried by a precise acidity and a chalky minerality, with supple tannins and a long finish, where dark chocolate, mocha and a subtle undergrowth bitterness intertwine.
Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity.
