[Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases 2012]
The vineyard of Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases is located within Saint-Julien, just one village away from one of the five great estates, Chateau Latour.The vineyard covers 97 hectares and has the best vineyard conditions in the entire village.Although Leoville-Las-Cases is renowned for its robust and rich body, this is not the result of prolonged skin contact, but rather the result of the rich and delicate grape fruit, showcased through perfect winemaking techniques.After years of experience, today's Leoville-Las-Cases can produce wines of consistently superior quality year after year, regardless of whether it is a good or weak vintage.Wine writer Lin Yusen further mentioned in "Treasures in the Castle – Bordeaux Wines" that "Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases is the Saint-Julien wine that most resembles Pauillac."More specifically, it is the second Médoc estate that resembles Château Latour the most.
"Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases 2012" is light and fresh, filled with crisp, ripe blackcurrant aromas, with soft and open tannins. The wine has a sense of weight and rich depth, but its bright fruit flavors and acidity will develop quite well relatively quickly.
