From the moment it opens, the 2020 Léoville Las Cases reveals a beautiful freshness, the signature of this vintage. The palate unfolds with a precise structure and ripe fruit, where fine liquorice and a mineral touch harmonize. This wine, still youthful, promises an elegant evolution with a slender finish.

Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The flagship 2020 Château Léoville Las Cases checks in as 81 Cabernet Sauvignon, 11 Cabernet Franc, and 8 Merlot, raised in 80 new French oak. Hitting 13.68 in alcohol with a Ph of 3.8 and an IPT of 79, it shows the dense, concentrated, focused style of the vintage and it's going to be one of the longer-lived wines of the vintage. Deep purple-hued, with an incredible sense of minerality in its blackcurrant and black cherry fruits, it's full-bodied, has a rich, layered mid-palate, lots of tannins, and a great finish. It's a beautiful wine and holds onto the more inward, concentrated style of the vintage while still showing serious depth of fruit. It's going to take a decade (or more) of bottle age to get anywhere close to the early stages of maturity but will keep for 30-40 years.

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.
