Petit Lion Du Marquis De Las Cases° Saint-Julien, 2022

Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases 2022 is the second wine of the legendary Léoville Las Cases estate in Saint-Julien, offering a refined glimpse into one of Bordeaux’s most respected terroirs. It combines the estate’s hallmark precision and structure with earlier accessibility, making it an excellent choice for collectors and Bordeaux lovers alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color with a vibrant, youthful edge. The nose is elegant and layered, opening with blackcurrant, ripe dark cherry, cedar, graphite, and a subtle touch of spice and tobacco. On the palate, it is poised and finely textured, with polished tannins, fresh acidity, and a core of dark berry fruit supported by savory notes and mineral length. While enjoyable in its youth, it has the structure and balance to develop beautifully over the coming years, gaining complexity with bottle age.

Production
Sourced from the Saint-Julien estate of Marquis de Las Cases, the wine benefits from classic Left Bank terroir dominated by gravelly soils that encourage excellent drainage and promote phenolic ripeness. The 2022 vintage reflects careful vineyard selection and attentive harvesting, with grapes typically picked plot by plot at optimal maturity. Vinification is carried out with precision to preserve freshness, purity, and the signature structure associated with the estate.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs especially well with grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, roast duck, veal, and dishes with mushrooms or truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and texture to open fully.

Producer
Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases is the second label of Château Léoville Las Cases, one of the most prestigious estates in Saint-Julien and a benchmark of the Médoc. The estate is renowned for producing Cabernet Sauvignon-driven wines of remarkable depth, longevity, and consistency, and its reputation for excellence places it among Bordeaux’s most admired producers.
