Clos Du Marquis 2nd Vin De Leoville Las Cases Saint-Julien, 1999

Clos du Marquis 1999 is a classic Saint-Julien bottling from the historic Léoville Las Cases stable, offering the depth and structure you expect from a serious Left Bank red. As a second wine of one of Bordeaux’s most respected estates, it combines pedigree, balance and a refined Médoc style that has made it a favourite among collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 1999 vintage typically shows a mature garnet hue with some brick at the rim, reflecting its age. Aromatically, it leans toward cedar, tobacco, blackcurrant, dried plum and earthy cedar-box notes, with a touch of leather and graphite developing with time. On the palate, expect medium to full body, firm but resolved tannins, and a savory profile that balances dark fruit with spice, forest floor and mineral nuances. While already in a drinking window, well-stored bottles can continue to hold gracefully for a few more years, especially if the fruit remains vibrant.

Production
Clos du Marquis comes from parcels associated with the wider Léoville Las Cases sphere in Saint-Julien, an appellation known for gravelly soils that encourage Cabernet Sauvignon-driven wines with structure and finesse. The blend is traditionally crafted in the Bordeaux Left Bank style, with careful harvesting and vinification designed to preserve precision, freshness and the estate’s trademark seriousness.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, game, mushroom dishes and hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if the bottle is showing youthful firmness or has been recently cellared.

Producer
Clos du Marquis is closely linked to Château Léoville Las Cases, one of the most renowned names in Saint-Julien and all of Bordeaux. The wine has earned respect as a high-quality second label, valued for delivering much of the estate’s character in a more approachable form, and is widely recognized for its consistency and aging potential.
