CHATEAU LÉOVILLE LAS CASES, 2004
SAINT-JULIEN
"Offering better performance in the bottle than in the barrel, this blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, and 11% Cabernet Franc has gained weight over the past year. It exhibits the classic style of Las Cases and St.-Julien, with deep notes of blackcurrant intertwined with sweet cherries, wet stones, and toasted vanilla. Crafted in a structured, medium to full-bodied style, with superb concentration, magnificent purity, and admirable symmetry, this gem is one of the greatest successes of the vintage." - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes
Until the 19th century, the Léoville estate, in the Saint-Julien appellation (Médoc), was one of the largest crus. It was then divided into three estates: Château Léoville Las Cases, Château Léoville Barton, and Château Léoville Poyferré. The Château de Léoville Las Cases comprises 3/5 of the original estate and was inherited by the Las Cases family. Léoville Las Cases has been managed by the same family since the end of the 19th century, currently represented by Jean-Hubert Delon, the sole owner of the Château.
