Tasting Notes

The Château Léoville Las Cases 2022 opens with an extraordinary bouquet of blackcurrant, cassis, graphite, and cedar, enhanced by nuances of violet, tobacco, crushed stone, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and remarkably concentrated, yet refined and pure, revealing layers of ripe black fruit, spice, and mineral complexity framed by silky, ultra-fine tannins. The wine displays perfect balance between power and freshness, finishing long, focused, and mineral, with breathtaking clarity and energy.

Vintage Highlights

The 2022 vintage in Bordeaux was one of exceptional quality — warm and dry, producing small, thick-skinned berries that yielded wines of great concentration and natural balance. At Léoville Las Cases, the team’s precision and experience allowed perfect expression of the Clos de Léoville terroir, located adjacent to Château Latour in Pauillac. Aged in approximately 80% new French oak, the wine achieves a seamless integration of fruit and structure. The result is a monumental Cabernet Sauvignon, combining grandeur, purity, and longevity in equal measure.
