Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

One of the most classic, regal wines of the vintage, the 2008 Léoville Las Cases is made from 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Merlot. Possessing an incredible Cabernet character in its graphite, crushed rock, green tobacco, and crème de cassis-like fruit, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has integrated acidity, a deep, layered texture, and a distinct minerality and salinity on the finish. It’s only now entering the early stages of its drinking window, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it become one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage. It should hit its prime in another 4–5 years and keep for 30 years or more.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Léoville Las Cases, an iconic Second Cru Classé of Saint-Julien, enjoys a remarkable location at the gateway to Pauillac. Its history is intimately linked to that of the former vast Léoville estate, of which it remains the historic heart today. The Delon family, guardians of a centuries-old tradition, has watched over this Médoc jewel for several generations, and Jean-Hubert Delon now embodies the continuity of this pursuit of excellence. He crafts wines of rare depth and elegance, seeking the perfect balance between power and finesse. The grand vin of Léoville Las Cases, a noble blend where Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme, is a global benchmark, celebrated for its aromatic complexity and extraordinary ability to age. The estate also produces Clos du Marquis, a singular expression of the Saint-Julien terroir, as well as Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases, a second wine full of charm and freshness. It is said that the Marquis de Las Cases liked to say his wine was "the most Pauillac of the Saint-Juliens," an eloquent compliment that underscores its unique character and power.
