Description
The 2019 Clos du Marquis is another cuvée from the Delon family that’s smaller than usual for the 2019 vintage, as a whopping 20% of the vineyards making up this bottling are in various stages of replanting, with the aim of increasing the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon vines to over 70%. With aromas of inky black cassis, plums, incense, wood smoke and spice, it’s medium to full-bodied, meaty and concentrated, with lively acidity, beautifully powdery tannins and a supple, more immediately charming profile than its big brother across the street, Léoville-Las Cases.
Clos du Marquis is often seen as the second wine of Château Léoville-Las Cases, but it is not. It is a separate estate with a different terroir. The parcel is surrounded by Grand Crus Classés from Pauillac and Saint-Julien, including Léoville-Las Cases, Léoville Poyferré, Léoville Barton and Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.
FACT: The wine is stored in our air-conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to collect the wine you will also receive a nice discount.

Wijnhuis
Clos du Marquis is often seen as the second wine of Château Léoville-Las Cases, but it is not. It is a separate estate with a different terroir. The plot is surrounded by Grand Crus Classés from Pauillac and Saint-Julien, including Léoville-Las Cases, Léoville Poyferré, Léoville Barton and Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. From 2010, this cru includes all plots outside the walled vineyard of Léoville Las Cases, ie the other side of the road. These terroirs are grand, as they are surrounded by several 2nd Crus from St. Julien and Pauillac. Clos du Marquis is a powerful wine from Hubert Delon, and is much cheaper than his Léoville Las Cases, but is vinified by the same team and with the same techniques. The wines are known for very long storage potential.
