Typical of the appellation, Château Léoville-Las Cases is Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, with smaller amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The estate has a history dating back to the mid-17th Century, when it used to be part of a much larger estate. During the French Revolution (1789-1799) the estate was divided in two with a small section becoming Château Léoville Barton. In 1840, the original estate was again divided, creating Château Léoville-Poyferre. All three of the Léoville châteaux were named in the 1855 Classification as second growths, but Léoville-Las Cases remains the largest. There are 98 hectares (242 acres) of vineyards, planted with 66 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 percent Merlot, 9 percent Cabernet Franc and 1 percent Petit Verdot. The vineyard's soils are mostly gravel over sand and clay, with some areas where the clay reaches the surface. The proximity of the Gironde moderates weather extremes, lowering the risk of frost and allowing grapes to ripen earlier than vineyards further inland. The vines are on average 40 years old. Léoville-Las Cases produces three wines, all red Bordeaux blends. It is credited with being one of the first Bordeaux producers to release a second wine in 1902, even though the second wine in question, the Clos du Marquis, is made from a separate vineyard and thus is not really a second wine. A true second wine, Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases, was released in 2007, and is a Merlot-dominant wine made from younger vines, which are not yet ready for the grand vin. Domaines Delon, proprietors of the estate, also own Château Potensac in the Medoc and Château Nénin in Pomerol.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-05-23T11:48:54-04:00","created_at":"2023-05-19T16:27:26-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Léoville-Las Cases","Region_Bordeaux","RK1905","Source_CanaWine0523","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":89999,"price_min":89999,"price_max":89999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42939274330250,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2003 | Château Léoville-Las Cases | Grand Vin de Leoville (Magnum)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":89999,"weight":10886,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/11_56d96649-948d-4b71-b575-494d1d8d00b6.jpg?v=1684528123"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/11_56d96649-948d-4b71-b575-494d1d8d00b6.jpg?v=1684528123","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2003 | Château Léoville-Las Cases | Grand Vin de Leoville (Magnum) at CaskCartel.com","id":24617913548938,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.307,"height":696,"width":214,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/11_56d96649-948d-4b71-b575-494d1d8d00b6.jpg?v=1684528123"},"aspect_ratio":0.307,"height":696,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/11_56d96649-948d-4b71-b575-494d1d8d00b6.jpg?v=1684528123","width":214}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2003 | Château Léoville-Las Cases | Grand Vin de Leoville (Magnum)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2003 Grand Vin de Leoville reveals the evolved dark plum\/garnet color.
