About Chateau Leoville Las Cases

At Chateau Leoville Las Cases, Manager Jean Hubert Delon's reputation--or better yet, notoriety--precedes him. A formidable man who governs the vines with an iron fist, Delon has struck fear into the heart of many an unassuming wine critic. His intensity has also driven the wines here to the doorstep of the First Growths, a prime reason why Las Cases is the foremost "Super Second."

Bong Hit redux
03/24/2006
by Hughes11387416
We opened two bottles for friends for a dinner in St. Louis, and the first reaction was, WOW, this is the "bong hit" of wines! Wow, what an incredible fusion of aromas, deep musty earthy tones, unbelievable finish, one of the greatest wines we have ever had! Get it, you won't be disappointed!!!
A Grape Orgasm
04/02/2002

Picture in your mind the best, most eye-crossing, most mouth-puckering orgasm you've ever had in your life. Now multiply it by about 2,000. This will give you an idea about what's in store for you when you pop this grand old dame. Like most ladies, you've got to give it a bit of breathing room. I'd say an hour would do it. Drink this crush too soon and you'll only taste Prince Charles' childhood riding boots. Give her an hour or so and you will Come to Jesus, er, I mean, come to understand why we willingly give exceptionally rude, arrogant, rather smelly people an enormous wad of cash to drink grape juice. This is the real deal, more worthy than many 1st growths at a third the price. Licorice, and the blackest, most velvety, pure fruit you can imagine. Don't be a cheap ass, just buy it.
