    Producer

    The Château Léoville Las Cases vineyard stretches across gravelly and clay-limestone soils, essential elements for the quality of the wines. The diversity of the terroirs within the estate allows the richness of the cultivated grape varieties to be expressed. The oceanic climate, with its Atlantic influences, promotes optimal ripening of the grapes, while preserving the acidity necessary for the wines' balance. The vines, averaging 40 years old, are cultivated with care to guarantee high-quality production, a reflection of their unique environment.

    Owner and history

Their commitment to quality and authenticity is reflected in every bottle produced. The owners have modernized the facilities while respecting traditions, thus guaranteeing the excellence of their wines.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for Château Léoville Las Cases 2022 is carried out with meticulous care. After a manual harvest, the grapes are rigorously sorted. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, allowing for the extraction of the full essence of the grape varieties. Aging, which lasts approximately 18 months in oak barrels, the majority of which are new, imparts complexity and depth to the wine. This meticulous process, combined with time-honored expertise, results in a wine that is both powerful and elegant, ready to improve with age.
