Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Another 2020 that's going to demand patience, the 2020 Château Léoville Las Cases is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend that includes 11% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot that was raised in 80% new French oak. It's a regal, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, flawlessly balanced 2020 with a pure core of cassis and darker currant fruits, a layered, seamless mouthfeel that carries substantial tannins, perfectly integrated oak, and subtle floral, mineral, and leafy herb nuances. Playing in the concentrated yet focused and structured style of the vintage, it's going to need a decade to hit the early phases of its prime drinking window and will have 50-75 years of longevity.

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.
