Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Leoville Las Cases 2010 (750ml)
Product price
Description
This is the second wine from Château Léoville Las Cases, one of Saint-Julien's most respected estates. The 2010 vintage shows the classic Bordeaux blend structure of the appellation, built on Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Merlot and Petit Verdot.
The wine presents itself with mineral precision, an iron spine running through dark fruit (crushed plum and blackberry) alongside notes of ganache, charcoal, and a hint of pastis. It's sleek and well-proportioned rather than heavy, delivering textbook Saint-Julien character with solid propulsive energy and a lingering finish. This is a wine that has matured into approachability while retaining the structure to age further.

Expert Reviews
Sleek and well-rendered, this features an iron note that runs from start to finish, along with ganache, charcoal, pastis and crushed plum and blackberry fruit. Not as dense as the top examples, but offers textbook typicity, solid drive and a long finish. Best from 2014 through 2024. (JM). (Wine Spectator, March 2013)
