Château Léoville Las Cases 2010
Red wine | 2nd Cru Classé, Saint-Julien AC
The Grand Vin de Léoville comes from exceptional terroirs belonging to the former Domaine de Léoville. These terroirs are mainly located in Clos Léoville Las Cases, on the outskirts of the village of Saint-Julien, towards Pauillac. The complex and accomplished expression of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc gives the Grand Vin de Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases a distinctive character that is entirely its own, recognised since ancient times and universally acclaimed.

100 100Wine EnthusiastA hugely powerful wine, full of dark, brooding tannins. It's a wine for seriously long-term aging, a sculptural vision of classic Bordeaux structure with with classy, ripe blackberry fruits. It has fresh acidity and an immense full-bodied character, cut through with mineral acidity. A great wine, with great potential. Roger Voss. January 2023.

100 100DecanterLayered, textured, deep, cigar box, cassis and earth, managing to simultaneously stretch out, and burrow down. The edges open slowly but surely and seductively. Still inky in colour, this has all the powerful texture and tannic architecture that you expect from Leoville, and unlike the 2009 at its ten year point it is still keeping plenty of secrets close to its chest. But you are going to want to be around when it fully opens. Drinking window: 2022 - 2050. Jane Anson. January 2020.

98 100Yves BeckBien marqué par de classiques notes de cèdre et de graphite, le bouquet révèle également des parfums de baies noires, de réglisse et de cannelle. Impressionnante densité en bouche où le vin affiche des tannins serrés, puissants et très précis, en phase avec une structure acide qui confère du tonus, de l’énergie et un grand potentiel de garde. Un vin vigoureux, puissant et harmonieux ! 2025-2060. Mars 2020.

98 100Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe most powerful wine in this vertical is the 2010 Léoville Las Cases, a full-bodied, deep and multidimensional behemoth redolent of rich berries, cassis, burning embers, pencil shavings and loamy soil. Broad-shouldered, layered and muscular, with huge reserves of concentration and sweet, powdery tannin, it concludes with a broad, resonant finish. This is a prodigious, somewhat imposing Las Cases that is still an infant a decade after bottling. Drinking window: 2025 - 2065. William Kelley. August 2022.

94 100Jean-Marc QuarinCouleur sombre, intense et jeune. Très beau nez fin, fruité, floral, complexe et pur. Eu égard la qualité du nez, la bouche paraît très réservée, même si le vin fond à l’attaque, présente un goût de fruit et de vanille au milieu et glisse jusqu’en finale, avec une sensation de profondeur. Regoûté mi-novembre dans une autre dégustation, la note a monté et le profil était plus dense, mais aussi plus tannique. A consommer de préférence entre 2025 et 2050. Octobre 2019.

Dark purple.
An intense bouquet with aromas of black berries, liquorice and cinnamon, enveloped in notes of cedar and graphite.
Dense, with tight, powerful and very precise tannins, beautifully balanced with an acidic structure that gives it vigour, energy and great ageing potential.
The vineyard of Château Léoville Las Cases, surrounded by a stone wall, comprises 55 ha of vines planted on deep gravelly-clay soil and subsoil and cultivated using traditional methods (double Guyot pruning).
Hand-picked grapes, vatting for 15 to 20 days, aging for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels (65% new wood).
