Clos du MARQUIS
Wine from Château Léoville-Las Cases

Clos du Marquis is no longer the second wine of Léoville-Las Cases, but a wine in its own right produced on the parcels adjoining Léoville-Poyferré and Lagrange. In any case, his exemplary consistency for more than 30 years now commands respect.

Revue du Vin de France : 92-95/100 «D’un très grand classicisme, il offre beaucoup d’équilibre, avec un côté très frais dans le fruit et une belle définition de tanins. Un vin brillant, ciselé et salivant en finale. » 
Quarin : 95/100 « Nez très aromatique, fin, pur, fruité et subtil. [...] Charnu en entrée de bouche et immédiatement captivant pour sa saveur de fruits noirs, légèrement replissée, le vin offre un déroulé noble et ascendant. Il s'achève complet, homogène, long et superbe. Une grande réussite du millésime. »
Galloni : 93-95/100 « The 2023 Clos du Marquis might very well be the best Clos du Marquis I have ever tasted. A wine of freshness and verve, the 2023 is all nuance. Sweet red plum, blood orange, spice, flowers, mint and white pepper are all finely cut. The 2023 shows more vibrancy, less oak extraction and more refined tannins than in the past. It's a glorious wine in every way. This early tasting is hugely promising. Clos du Marquis could turn out to be one of the real surprises of 2023. »
Martin : 91-93/100 « It has a complex bouquet, comprising a mélange of red and black fruit, cedar and subtle touches of violet - very charming. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip. It's a little creamy in texture on the entry, but there is solid backbone and a saline finish. This is very promising.  »
