Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2015 750 ml

Description

Discover the essence of Bordeaux excellence with Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2015, a red wine hailing from France's storied Saint-Julien appellation. Crafted from exceptional terroirs spanning the former Leoville estate, this standout expression draws primarily from the Clos Leoville Las Cases vineyard. Nestled just beyond Saint-Julien village toward Pauillac and within view of the Gironde estuary, these nearly 60 hectares yield Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes that define a polished, intricate profile unlike any other.

From the Delon Family, this 2015 vintage emerges as a full-bodied powerhouse, blending 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and the remainder Merlot. Its dense structure and firm tannins promise a journey through layers of black fruits, delivering richness and juiciness in every sip. Critics hail its prowess: Wine Enthusiast and Jeb Dunnuck both award 99 points, praising the super-concentrated focus and bouquet evoking creme de cassis, graphite, charcoal, lead pencil, and minerality. James Suckling gives 98 points for blackcurrant, blueberry, currant aromas with black licorice and hot stones, wrapped in integrated tannins and endless harmony.

Wine Spectator (97 points) highlights blackberry, black currant, fig, and boysenberry preserve flavors, evolving into brambly grip, warm tar, pastis-soaked apple wood, and cool charcoal notes. Decanter matches with 97 points, while Robert Parker's Wine Advocate scores it 95. Clocking in at 13.50% ABV in a classic 750 ml bottle, this dry red (sweetness level 01) stands as a varietal masterpiece ready to elevate your collection.

Whether pairing with robust meals or savoring solo, Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2015 captures the unique character of its walled vineyard heritage. Secure this Bordeaux gem for $531.00 and experience the proportional mastery that has captivated palates for generations.
