Château Léoville Las CasesChâteau Léoville Las Cases2000
The 2000 is one of the defining vintages for Léoville Las Cases and for modern Bordeaux. Robert Parker scored it 98, Wine Spectator gave it 100. After 25 years, it's just now entering its drinking window: cassis, graphite, cedar and lead pencil on the nose, medium-to-full-bodied with firm but powdery tannins. The finish goes on for over a minute. This is the kind of wine that makes the case for Las Cases as a First Growth in all but classification. Will continue to develop through 2050 and beyond.

About This Producer
The original Léoville estate was one of the largest in the Médoc, owned by French noble families until the Revolution. When the domain was divided, the Las Cases family retained three-fifths, including the historic walled Clos at the northern tip of Saint-Julien. Wine merchant Théophile Skawinski acquired the estate around 1900, and it passed to the Delon family by inheritance. The 1971 vintage was selected for the famous 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting, competing with the top wines of Bordeaux and California. Jean-Hubert Delon now runs the estate with the same uncompromising standards his family established decades ago.
