Clos du Marquis

Owned by the Delon family, the Clos du Marquis is a historic brand in the Médoc region in Saint-Julien Founded in 1902. It has its origins in the “Petit Clos” adjacent to the Château de Léoville, the residence of the Marquis de Las Cases. Long considered the second wine of Léoville Las Cases, the 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 Domaine de Léoville. These terroirs, 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 ones 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 flavor profiles, despite an obvious family resemblance. Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée: Saint-Julien
