Clos du MARQUIS
Wine from Château Léoville-Las Cases

Clos du Marquis is not the second wine of Léoville-Las Cases, but a wine in its own right, produced on plots adjacent to Pichon-Comtesse, Léoville-Poyferré and Léoville-Barton. In any case, its exemplary consistency for over 30 years now commands respect. With great ageing potential (like all of Mr Delon's wines), it only reveals itself after at least 10 years of ageing and perfectly expresses the typical characteristics of Saint-Julien: structure, complexity and harmony.

La Revue du Vin de France : 95-97/100 “A wine of great character, it captivates with its intense aromatic profile, blending juicy black fruits and spices. The balance is remarkable, the texture silky, supported by fine tannins. The clean, vibrant finish confirms the status of this ever-reliable classic.”

Bettane+Desseauve : 95/100 “The harmony between the bouquet and the body once again places this Saint-Julien among the finest classified wines of the region.”

J-M Quarin : 95/100 « Deep, intense red color with purple hues and bright highlights. A very aromatic nose with ripe fruit, accompanied by notes of cocoa and violet. Meticulously crafted on the attack and in the mid-palate, with a graceful texture; the wine lingers on the finish—long, powerful, full-bodied, complex, and above all, impossible to spit out. It’s excellent. »

Vinous (N. Martin) : 91-93/100 "The 2025 Clos du Marquis has a fragrant and intense bouquet, with just a hint of lavender suffusing the black cherry and blackcurrant scents, more blue fruit surfacing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, with a powerful entry, quite precocious licorice-tinged black fruit. A little "heady" in style, I feel that the warmth of that summer comes through more here compared to the Las Cases."

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 90-93/100 "The 2025 Clos du Marquis is a potent, brooding wine. A rush of dark-toned fruit, gravel, incense, licorice, tobacco and scorched earth hits the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon takes the lead, and that very much comes through in the wine's savory character and structural profile. Lavender, mint, dried herbs and chocolate follow as the 2025 gains volume in the glass. There's a lot of wine here. I am looking forward to tasting this in finished form, given its considerable potential."
