Description
The 2015 Chateau Leoville Las Cases wine is simply captivating. Sumptuous, racy and explosive in the glass, the 2015 Chateau Leoville Las Cases wine is endowed with tremendous energy from start to finish. This Saint-Julien wine has an exotic melange of crème de cassis, graphite, menthol and licorice bursts onto the palate as the 2015 shows off its alluring personality. This 2015 Chateau Leoville Las Cases wine is spectacularly rich, dense and full-throttle, with huge tannins that are nearly buried underneath the fruit, the 2015 is an unusual Las Cases. It is also breathtakingly beautiful.
Drink in 2022.
The 2015 Chateau Leoville Las Cases wine has the highest Cabernet contents in recent years, 85% and 9% of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc respectively, partly because some of the old Merlot vines were blended into the deuxième vin. Picked between 22 September and 9 October, a total of 15 days picking, it will be matured in 85% new oak. The alcohol level is 13.8%, higher than 2010 for example. Jean-Hubert Delon has crafted an extremely pure and tensile bouquet, almost pixelated with blackberry, briary, slate and oyster shell aromas that blossom in the glass.
