Chateau Leoville Las Cases
From a Skinner auction catalogue by Phil Minervino: “Leoville Las Cases is a St. Julien in name only — not that there is anything wrong with that. This wine is generally quite well-endowed and possessing dramatic depth. Leoville Las Cases is quite a large property on the river side of the north-south road from the city of Bordeaux. Leoville Barton and Leoville Poyferre were cleaved off at various times in history….further validation that this is a most special site (“terroir” in French).”
