Chateau Leoville-Las Cases
1 in stock
ROBERT PARKER " The 2005 Léoville Las Cases is a classic that numbers among the wines of the vintage in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis, incense, burning embers, sweet soil tones, dark chocolate and cigar wrapper, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins. More elegant and refined than the hulking, uncompromising 2006, the 2005 is nevertheless a powerful, tightly wound wine that will reward further bottle age, even if it's actually quite expressive today.

Meticulously crafted from a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2005 Grand Vin exemplifies the estate’s historic commitment to traditional winemaking augmented by modern precision.

Chateau Leoville-Las Cases stands among Bordeaux’s most venerable estates, with a legacy dating back to the 17th century. The 2005 vintage, one of the most acclaimed of the decade, saw limited Jeroboam production, intensifying its scarcity.
Its robust demand in secondary markets, underscored by consistent high ratings, solidifies this release as an investment-grade collectible—a coveted treasure among connoisseurs and collectors worldwide.
Experience a sophisticated bouquet marked by blackcurrant, cedar, and subtle graphite notes, unfolding into a full-bodied palate where ripe blackberry and cassis intertwine with hints of tobacco and vanilla. A persistent, silky finish invites slow savoring.
Serve optimally at 16–18°C after aerating to reveal its complex layers. Store in a cool, humid cellar to preserve integrity over decades. Pair this Grand Vin with premium cuts such as ribeye or aged duck, enhancing its exceptional tasting journey.
