Originally created as the second wine of Léoville Las Cases, it has long been valued for delivering a true Saint-Julien character at a more accessible level than the grand vin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith age, the wine typically shows a deep garnet hue that has begun to soften at the rim. The bouquet is mature and layered, often moving from blackcurrant and cedar to cigar box, dried herbs, tobacco and earthy cedarwood notes.\n\nOn the palate, it is usually medium to full-bodied, with finely resolved tannins, bright acidity and a savory, elegant finish. The 1995 vintage should offer impressive balance and freshness, with enough structure to continue showing well for several more years depending on storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos du Marquis comes from vineyards in the Saint-Julien appellation on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, where gravel-rich soils and a temperate maritime climate help Cabernet Sauvignon and supporting varieties ripen slowly and evenly. The wine is traditionally harvested by hand and vinified with care to preserve precision, balance and the classic firmness associated with the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds and mushroom-based dishes. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for 1–2 hours if the bottle has been well stored to help the aromatics open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos du Marquis is closely associated with Château Léoville Las Cases, one of the most prestigious estates in Saint-Julien and all of Bordeaux. As the label established to showcase parcels outside the main walled vineyard of Léoville Las Cases, it has built a strong reputation for producing refined, age-worthy wines that reflect the quality and pedigree of the estate’s terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos Du Marquis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252618875217,"sku":"MS-82056","price":99.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/82056.png?v=1783445422","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/clos-du-marquis-2nd-vin-de-leoville-las-cases-saint-julien-1995","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
