Clos du Marquis

Owned by the Delon family, the Clos du Marquis is a historic brand in the Médoc region Saint-Julien Founded in 1902, it originated from the "Petit Clos" adjacent to Château Léoville, the residence of the Marquis de Las Cases. Long considered the second wine of Léoville Las Cases, Clos du Marquis is now a cru in its own right. The vineyard comes from the best terroirs in theSaint-Julien appellation which were not part of the cadastral records of the former Léoville estate. These vineyards, physically separate from those of Las Cases, are located slightly further west and are surrounded by prestigious Second Growths. The Clos du Marquis perfectly captures the distinctive character of the great Saint-Julien: structure, complexity, harmony, balance, distinctiveness, and aging potential. Château Léoville Las Cases thus comprises two distinct estates with distinct terroir characteristics and consequently produces two first wines with different flavors, despite an obvious family resemblance. Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée: Saint-Julien
