" A classic Las Cases style, somewhat masculine for the vintage, tannic and closed, and less powerfully concentrated than the 2009 or 2010. The 2008 requires 7 to 8 years of cellar aging. With a dense purple color, its aromas are discreet, but with a bit of persistence and vigorous swirling, notes of crushed rock, cassis, and underbrush emerge. Well-structured, medium to full-bodied, layered, and impressively concentrated, this is an underestimated vintage for Léoville Las Cases that should improve considerably, given its closed nature during the tasting. " - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes

Until the 19th century, the Leoville estate, in Saint-Julien appellation (Medoc), was one of the largest crus. It was divided in three domains afterwards: Château Léoville Las Cases, Château Léoville Barton, Château Léoville Poyferré.Château Léoville Las Cases is made up of the three-fifths of the original estate and is the Las Cases family’s estate. Nowadays, Léoville Las Cases has been managed by the same family since the end of the 19th century. It is represented now by the single owner of the Château, Jean-Hubert Delon.
