Denne vingård, der ligger i Saint-Julien, nyder historisk anerkendelse, da den blev klassificeret som en Second Growth i klassificeringen fra 1855. Vinen er primært lavet på Cabernet Sauvignon, suppleret med Merlot og et strejf af Cabernet Franc, der stammer fra parceller beliggende på vingårdens plateau. Stilen er ofte karakteriseret ved dens tæthed og struktur, selv i mindre solrige årgange.
2007 var et relativt typisk år med kølige forhold, hvilket resulterede i vine, der ofte var mere raffinerede og modne end normalt, med vægt på friskhed og aromatisk finesse. Léoville Las Cases, tro mod sit ry, tilbyder en vin med god koncentration og dejlig spænding, der prioriterer balance og præcision frem for prangende smag. Ifølge kritikere som Vinous og Wine Advocate er denne årgang tilgængelig nu, samtidig med at den stadig tilbyder lovende lagringspotentiale for det næste årti.
Kritikerens smagsnotat: (årgang 2007) "Hvis du leder efter en veletableret, drikkeklar Léoville Las Cases, er dette et fremragende valg. Aromaer af tobak, cedertræ, solbær og skovbund fordyber dig i en mellemfyldig, frisk, livlig og saftig Saint-Julien med en klassisk struktur og dominans af røde frugter. Du kan nyde den nu og i de næste 5 til 8 år uden tvivl." – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (september 2021)
Flasken er perfekt bevaret i en underjordisk kælder.

This estate, located in Saint-Julien, enjoys historical recognition, having been classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 classification. The wine is made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc, sourced from parcels located on the estate's plateau. The style is often characterized by its density and structure, even in less sunny vintages.
2007 was a relatively typical year with cool conditions, resulting in wines that were often more refined and precocious than usual, emphasizing freshness and aromatic finesse. Léoville Las Cases, true to its reputation, offers a wine of good concentration and lovely tension, prioritizing balance and precision over showiness. According to critics such as Vinous and Wine Advocate, this vintage is approachable now, while still offering promising aging potential for the next decade.
Critic's tasting note: (2007 vintage) "If you're looking for a well-established, ready-to-drink Léoville Las Cases, this is an excellent choice. Aromas of tobacco, cedar, blackcurrant, and forest floor immerse you in a medium-bodied, fresh, lively, juicy Saint-Julien with a classic structure and red fruit dominance. You can enjoy it now and for the next 5 to 8 years without a doubt." – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (Sept 2021)

Questa tenuta, situata a Saint-Julien, gode di un riconoscimento storico, essendo stata classificata come "Secondo Cru" nella classificazione del 1855. Il vino è prodotto principalmente con Cabernet Sauvignon, completato da Merlot e un tocco di Cabernet Franc, provenienti da parcelle situate sull'altopiano della tenuta. Lo stile è spesso caratterizzato da densità e struttura, anche nelle annate meno soleggiate.
Il 2007 è stato un anno relativamente tipico, con condizioni fresche, che ha prodotto vini spesso più raffinati e precoci del solito, enfatizzando freschezza e finezza aromatica. Léoville Las Cases, fedele alla sua reputazione, offre un vino di buona concentrazione e piacevole tensione, privilegiando equilibrio e precisione rispetto alla vistosità. Secondo critici come Vinous e Wine Advocate, quest'annata è accessibile ora, pur offrendo un promettente potenziale di invecchiamento per il prossimo decennio.
Nota di degustazione del critico: (annata 2007) "Se cercate un Léoville Las Cases consolidato e pronto da bere, questa è una scelta eccellente. Aromi di tabacco, cedro, ribes nero e sottobosco vi immergono in un Saint-Julien di medio corpo, fresco, vivace e succoso, con una struttura classica e una predominanza di frutti rossi. Potete gustarlo ora e per i prossimi 5-8 anni senza dubbio." – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (settembre 2021)

Ce domaine situé à Saint-Julien bénéficie d’une reconnaissance historique, classé Second Cru dans le classement de 1855. La cuvée est issue majoritairement de cabernet sauvignon, complété de merlot et d’une touche de cabernet franc, provenant des parcelles situées sur le plateau de la propriété. Le style est souvent marqué par sa densité et sa structure, même dans les millésimes moins solaires.
2007 fut une année relativement classique avec des conditions fraîches, donnant naissance à des vins souvent plus raffinés et précoces que d’habitude, privilégiant la fraîcheur et la finesse aromatique. Léoville Las Cases, fidèle à sa réputation, propose ici un vin d’une bonne concentration avec une belle tension, qui privilégie l’équilibre et la précision au côté démonstratif. Selon les critiques comme Vinous ou Wine Advocate, ce millésime se montre accessible aujourd’hui, tout en conservant de jolies perspectives d’évolution pour la prochaine décennie.
Note de dégustation du critique : (millésime 2007) « Si vous recherchez un Léoville Las Cases déjà bien établi et prêt à être dégusté, c’est un excellent choix. Des arômes de tabac, de cèdre, de cassis et de sous-bois vous plongent dans un Saint-Julien moyennement corsé, frais, vif, juteux, à la structure classique et dominé par les fruits rouges. Vous pouvez l’apprécier dès maintenant et pendant les 5 à 8 prochaines années sans aucun doute. » – Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (sept 2021)
