The Château Léoville Las Cases vineyard covers 55 hectares, planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The vines are rooted in gravelly soils, promoting drainage and optimal grape ripening. Bordeaux's oceanic climate, with its hot summers and mild winters, allows for a slow and even maturation of the berries, contributing to the aromatic richness of the wines. Each plot is meticulously cultivated to respect the unique expression of this exceptional terroir.
