Château Léoville Las Cases 2014

The 2014 Leoville-Las Cases is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

It has a delectable bouquet with very precise, mineral-rich black fruit infused with oyster shell, which appears to be a leitmotif of Jean-Huber Delon’s 2014s. The palate is medium-bodied with wondrous purity and tension, the acidity beautifully poised and imparting the palpable sense of energy from start to finish. Where it really excels is on the finish: exquisite structure, very complex with enormous persistence that lingers for more than a minute.

Local	Climate: temperate oceanic Soils: The Clos Léoville las Cases (97 ha) contains a terroir of great complexity.

The wine is separated from Château Latour by a simple jalle (stream between two parcels).

Type of wine	Great wine of legend, deep and mysterious …
Winemaking	The winemaking is conducted in a set of wood, cement or stainless steel vats, ranging in size from 40 to over 200 hl, making it possible to adapt to the size of the batches with flexibility. The wine, after transfer, is aged 20 months in oak barrels (50 to 100% new depending on the vintage). It is then stuck with fresh egg white before bottling.
