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.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026): 96/100 "This 2022 is already making history! It imposes its pedigree and depth on many classified growths. From the nose with its notes of black fruit, one understands the depth of the wine. On the palate, it continues with a magnificent texture and masterful balance, resulting in a wine that is long, refined and powerful. Keep a few bottles for the decades to come."
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 93/100 "The 2022 Clos du Marquis is gorgeous. Resonant and quite expressive, it possesses notable textural depth and plenty of presence but never feels heavy. Inky dark-toned fruit, spice, new leather and licorice all flow across the palate. The 2022 will be an absolute delight to drink over the next 10-15 years."
J.M Quarin (February 2025): 93/100 "Dark, intense purple colour. The nose is moderately aromatic, with ripe, merlot-like fruit. Tender on the attack, suave on the mid-palate, the wine glides, caresses and finishes long, with a grain of coated tannin. It lacked a little sparkle."
