Château Léoville-Las Cases is an estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, ranked as a second growth in the 1855 Classification of the Médoc and Graves. The estate produces three wines, all red Bordeaux blends, including this Clos du Marquis, made from a separate vineyard. The 2018 vintage has plenty of brambly red fruit on the nose, and just a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and quite saline in the mouth with fine depth. Persistent black pepper aftertaste.

The 2018 Clos du Marquis is consistent with my tasting note from barrel. It has a perfumed, camphor-tinged bouquet featuring plenty of brambly red fruit, and maybe just a hint of dark chocolate loitering in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and quite saline in the mouth with fine depth. It is not the most complex Clos du Marquis that I have tasted, but I appreciate the persistent black pepper aftertaste, which is quite Pauillac in style. Very fine. Neal Martin21st March 2021

Clos du Marquis 2018 has a deep garnet purple color. It rocks up with open-knit notes of blackcurrants, plums, and blueberries, plus suggestions of tree bark, pencil lead, and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers a good core of pure black fruits and a firm, grainy texture, finishing long and refreshing. Lisa Perrotti-Brown9th February 2023
