Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The second wine of Château Léoville Las Cases, the 2022 Le Petit Lion is medium to full-bodied, featuring cassis, graphite, crushed stone, scorched earth, and violets. Nicely integrated oak and fine tannins add to its polished balance. Aged in oak barrels, it’s a stunning second wine that should drink well for 15+ years.

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.
