  Expert tasting note: (2017 vintage) "Medium ruby-red color with quiet dark pigmentation but is not quite opaque. Restrained fruit aromas have a vivid cassis nature. The palate shows redcurrant fruit, cassis & cedar notes. The balanced alcohol adds a little warmth & roundness to the juicy cassis fruit on the mid-palate. The structure is fine & adds cedary notes, all elements are beautifully in balance, fresh acidity giving good length to a spicy and slightly leafy finish." - 03/23 DCAMW

About the Product

Classification: 2eme Grand Cru Classé
Producer Notes: The Grand Vin is the product of exceptional terroirs from the former Léoville estate. These terroirs are located mainly in the Clos Léoville Las Cases, which you pass as you leave Saint- Julien village for Pauillac. They extend over nearly 60ha producing Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet Francs with a complex, polished expression and characteristics which are totally unique to the Grand Vin of Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases and have been widely recognized for years.
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2065

Analytical Data

Alcohol ABV: 13 - 13.3%
Sweetness: Dry
Acidity TA: 3.72 g/L
Acidity pH: 3.67

Production Attributes

Maturation: Oaked
Oak Type: French
Ownership: Domaines Delon
Harvest date: 15 September - 4 October
Closure Type: Cork
Vintage Notes: The 2017 vintage has brought us first wines offering an excellent ripeness and second wines that are especially successful thanks to the great care bestowed upon our young vines. The Merlots are rich, the Cabernet Francs refined and elegant, and the Cabernet Sauvignons powerful and well-structured. The Grand Vin blend boasts notes of ripe fruit along with an attractive freshness. The tannic structure, powerful yet very silky and elegant, lingers through to a particularly long, complex finish.

Der Stil der Marke und des Terroirs dominiert den Stil des Jahrgangs, wirkt unerhört dicht und gut gebaut, mit klaren Konturen und grosser Tiefe, wacher Säure und dadurch ausgesprochener Rasse und Länge. Beeindruckend, für die lange Reife gebaut.

The watchword for this wine is style. Tannins underline the fruit. This rich structure, while not losing the swaths of berry flavors and crisp black currants, presents the balance between the ripeness and freshness of the vintage. Drink this wine from 2024. Roger Voss

2017 Vintage Tasted: Dec 2019

The purity here is really something. Blackberries and blackcurrants with sandalwood, mint and other classic herbs. Full-bodied and dense with ultra-fine tannins. Silky in all ways. Goes on for a long, long time. A blend of 79% cabernet sauvignon, 11% cabernet franc and 10% merlot. Joyous and serious wine for the vintage. And comparable to 2014 and 2015. Try after 2023.

About James Suckling

94 / 100 Falstaff

2017 Vintage Tasted: May 2018

Deep dark ruby, violet glints, faintly lighter at the rim. Finely fragrant nuances of blackberry, cassis, and mild notions of liquorice, mineral touch. Complex, juicy black cherries, ripe tannins that are very well integrated, fresh acidity, lemony, and delicate red berry touches on the finish. A seamlessly and above all vibrant style, with stimulating, delicate chocolate nuanced reverberations.

2017 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2018

It is not often you can use the word fruity to describe Leoville Las Cases but it is certainly fitting for 2017. Yes, the wine is fruity! And in addition you’ll find complexities of licorice, cigar box and lead pencil with tannins so refined it’s almost precocious. The fruit is airy and bright with a sweetness that carries through from start to finish. This is the perfect vintage to enjoy while waiting for the bigger, more tannic vintages to come around. The wine was made from a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot, reaching 13.28% ABV with a pH of 3.72. The harvest took place from September 15 to October 4 and the wine was made from 60% of the harvest.It is not often you can use the word fruity to describe Leoville Las Cases but it is certainly fitting for 2017.
