Château Léoville Las Cases 2011

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.

    Huge structure, huge potential, a wine that will bring out all the fruit and density of the vintage while remaining very fresh. Black plums are already showing strongly along with the dry core that promises aging. It's serious while alive and bright. Drink this major wine from 2022. Roger Voss. January 2024.

    Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez fin, fruité, pur, mûr et profond. Il est doucement vanillé à l'agitation avec une note de cerise. Plus expressif que de coutume en primeur. Très bonne entrée en bouche moelleuse et finement tramée. Le vin se développe plein et aromatique avec du goût, du corps vers une finale noble aux tanins fins puissants, mais enrobés. C'est très bon. Degré d'alcool 13°4, IPT 81, contre 75 pour le 2010, assemblage 76% de cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot et 12% de cabernet franc. Rendement 27hl/ha. Un succès. A consommer de préférence entre 2025 et 2045. Avril 2012.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    A vintage that tended to be underrated early on, due to its youthful austerity and the excitement generated by its two immediate predecessors, the 2011 Léoville Las Cases is emerging as a sleeper that will delight Médoc purists. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berries, sweet spices, loamy soil, cigar wrapper and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and structured, with chewy tannins, tangy acids and a long, penetrating finish. Built for the long haul, its austerity without asperity is immensely appealing in a world of ever sweeter, softer Bordeaux. Drinking window: 2025 - 2070. William Kelley. August 2022.

    Très invitant ce bouquet qui brille par son intensité et son élégance. Il affiche de notes de cassis et de mûres. En bouche le vin parvient à cumuler finesse et puissance. Ses tannins sont légèrement crémeux tout en étant serrés tandis que sa structure acide confère une agréable fraîcheur tout en soutenant l’expression fruitée jusqu’en fin de bouche. Un vin équilibré, puissant qui a encore un bien bel avenir devant lui ! Maintenant – 2045. Septembre 2021.

    Concentrated black fruits and sappy power. This is a delicious Las Cases if on the side of a hard taskmaster, this is for those who really love to be whipped by their wines before giving in. Those tannins are still very much present - binding in the exoticism, black pepper, charcoal and dried herbs. A yield of 26hl/ha, the second hottest vintage since 2000 and with very little rain overall (although it fell at difficult times). Drinking window: 2021 - 2044. Jane Anson. February 2021.

An intense and very elegant bouquet with aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry.

Both refined and powerful. Tannins are slightly creamy yet firm. The acidity provides a pleasant freshness, supporting the fruity expression right through to the finish. Balanced and powerful. A wine with a bright future ahead.
