Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases 2019

The second wine of Château Léoville Las Cases offers vibrant aromas of cassis, blackberry, plum, cedar, graphite, and violet. Elegant yet concentrated, it showcases silky tannins, fresh acidity, refined balance, and a persistent finish that reflects its prestigious Saint-Julien heritage.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom risotto, aged Comté, braised beef, or truffle potatoes.

95 Points - James Suckling 

Blackberry, blackcurrant and wet-earth character with spice and sweet tobacco. Bark and cloves, too. It’s medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a long finish. Excellent second wine from Las Cases. Best with three to four years of bottle age, but try after 2024.

90 Points - Wine Spectator 

Sleek and tightly focused, with an iron spine taking up as much space as the cassis, cherry puree and violet notes that form the core. The racy finish has an alluring austerity. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2033.
