Product details
Château Léoville Las Cases, one of the most iconic estates in the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation on Bordeaux's left bank, consistently produces wines of remarkable elegance and excellence. The estate's 55-hectare vineyard is situated within the renowned Clos de Léoville, a mosaic of diverse terroirs that contribute to the complexity of its wines. The vineyard benefits from the Gironde River’s temperate influence, protecting it from frost and creating ideal conditions for growth. The unique composition of Günzian gravel soils and sandy-gravel subsoils with layers of clay further enhances the terroir’s potential to produce legendary wines.
The 2020 vintage of Château Léoville Las Cases showcases the exceptional quality of its terroir. After a mild and rainy winter, followed by a warm spring, the summer allowed the fruit to develop peacefully. Although the yield was lower than in previous years, the grapes achieved extraordinary aromatic maturity. The result is a wine that impresses with its freshness, elegance, and remarkable length. It offers a harmonious balance of intensity and complexity, promising an exceptional future for this Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé.
