Clos du Marquis

Owned by the Delon family, the Clos du Marquis is a historic brand in the Médoc region Saint-Julien created in 1902. It originated in the "Petit Clos" adjoining the Château de Léoville, home of the Marquis de Las Cases. Long considered the second wine of Léoville Las Case, Clos du Marquis is now a wine in its own right. The vineyard comes from the best terroirs of theSaint-Julien appellation which were not part of the cadastre of the former Domaine de Léoville. These terroirs, physically separated from those of Las Cases, are located slightly further west and are surrounded by prestigious Seconds Crus Classés. The Clos du Marquis perfectly expresses the typical characteristics of the greats Saint Julien: structure, complexity, harmony, balance, distinction, and aging potential. Château Léoville Las Cases therefore comprises two properties with distinct terroir characteristics and consequently produces two first wines with different tastes, despite their obvious parentage. Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée: Saint-Julien
