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."

Stunning claret from one of Bordeaux's best. Tobacco, Cassis, Eucalyptus/Menthol nose. Almost smells too glorious to drink. Balance and length rivaling any first growth. Subtle power. Wow.
