"Combines body and finesse like no other wine of this vintage, always offering ideal value for money for a wine of such noble origin! ~ B&D"
"I am still as captivated as ever by this terroir. Clos Du Marquis 2019 offers magnificent richness and depth, imbued with the purity and elegance of the vintage. Blackcurrant, smoky black cherries, tobacco, earthy notes, and spices are just some of its nuances. This medium-bodied to full-bodied wine offers a rich and dense palate, present and almost firm tannins, and a lingering finish. It is not for those seeking immediate pleasure and requires a good ten years of bottle aging." (Jeb Dunnuck 2022)

Wine rated (2022 guide) 95/100
About wine:
Fragrant and full-bodied, this wine has deep, rich, dark, and silky tannins, supported by great freshness. Its texture is smooth, with sweet, fresh and lively cherry aromas and a hint of menthol that brushes the palate, all supported by tight tannins. With great finesse, it offers beautiful consistency from start to finish. It can be enjoyed now for its rich and seductive fruitiness. Drink between 2025 and 2045.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Often considered the second wine of Léoville Las Cases, Clos du Marquis, created in 1902, is in fact a wine in its own right. Its vineyard, planted on very homogeneous Mindel gravel soil, is located northwest of the village of Saint-Julien, while the grand clos is located northeast.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
Clos du Marquis 2019 is another cuvée from the Delon family, smaller than usual this year. In fact, 20% of the vines used to make this wine are currently being replanted, with the aim of increasing the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon to over 70%. Revealing intense aromas of blackcurrant, plum, incense, wood smoke, and spices, this full-bodied, fleshy, and concentrated wine has lively acidity, silky tannins, and a more supple and immediately appealing profile than its big brother, Léoville-Las Cases. 2026–2055
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
Long considered the second wine of Léoville Las Cases, Clos du Marquis is now a wine in its own right, produced from a selection of dedicated plots located in the heart of the classified growths area. It benefits from all the attention and expertise of the Las Cases team. It is no surprise that its quality is on a par with a third growth, with impeccable consistency to boot. A very good deal indeed.

About wine:
Barrel sample. From a single plot on the Léoville Las Cases estate. It displays power and finesse. Its tannins and rich blackcurrant aromas, characteristic of Cabernet Sauvignon, are firm, ripe, and elegant. The result is a wine that strikes a balance between structure and fruit, concentration and expressiveness. This wine has great aging potential.
