Clos du MARQUIS
Wine from Château Léoville-Las Cases

Clos du Marquis is no longer the second wine of Léoville-Las Cases, but a wine in its own right produced on the parcels adjoining Léoville-Poyferré and Lagrange. In any case, his exemplary consistency for more than 30 years now commands respect.

Bettane & Dessauve : 94-95/100 « Corps et parfum classiques, précision impeccable de vinification et d’élevage, hautement recommandable. »

J-M Quarin : 93/100 « Couleur sombre, aux reflets grenat. Nez intense, au fruité mûr. Touche suave. Charnu en entrée de bouche, très aromatique au milieu, le vin fond sur le palais, juteux et raffiné. Jolie longueur savoureuse. »

Vinous (N. Martin) : 90-92/100 "The 2024 Clos du Marquis has an expressive bouquet with blackberry, blueberry and light violet scents that lend it Margaux-like allure. The palate is medium-bodied with a citric entry thanks to the acidity, edgy tannins and more black fruit laced with cedar and graphite toward the finish. This is slightly leaner, but it maintains focus."

Vinous (A. Galloni): 90-92/100 "The 2024 Clos du Marquis is a very pretty, aromatic Saint-Julien. Crushed flowers, mint, lavender, white pepper and slate give the 2024 an attractive upper register to match its mid-weight, nervy personality. There is a bit of dryness on the finish that hopefully will be resolved with elevage."

La Revue du Vin de France : 93-95/100  « Le cru possède son charme habituel, avec un velouté de texture superbe et un soyeux de tanins qui signent une grande bouteille. Il ne manque pas non plus de volume, d’ampleur et de profondeur. Concentré mais raffiné. »
