Harvest began on September 5th, the earliest ever for this estate, wrapping up on the 20th. \u003cstrong\u003eCassis, graphite, liquid minerality, and freshly sharpened pencil all define the nose, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eIf this doesn't make your eyes roll back in your head, nothing will. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt checks in at 13.65% alcohol with a pH of 3.56. ~ 97-100 Jeb Dunnuck \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe texture is fantastic, with superb aromas\u003c\/strong\u003e of graphite, blackberries and blueberries. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that are pure and primary, like eating perfectly ripe grapes. It’s the high quality of the tannins.\u003cstrong\u003e A very classic Las Cases. \u003c\/strong\u003e82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot. ~ 98-99 James Suckling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Léoville Las Cases is \u003cstrong\u003epowerful, tightly wound and very shut down—in other words, classic Las Cases.\u003c\/strong\u003e In some recent vintages, the Grand Vin has shown somewhat softer contours, but the 2025 is really a throwback to a more muscular, classically austere style. It offers tremendous persistence and sheer power, but beyond that, the wine is pretty hard to read in the early going, certainly much more so than any of the other wines in the Delon stable. I expect this will need many years to be at its most rewarding. Based on this \u003cem data-start=\"559\" data-end=\"571\"\u003een primeur\u003c\/em\u003e sample, the 2025 is a wine for readers who have actuarial tables on their side. ~ 96-98 Vinous Media\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of the most serious, brooding wines of the vintage is the 2025 Léoville Las Cases\u003c\/strong\u003e, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, pencil shavings and creamy new oak, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and dense, with prodigious reserves of sweet but assertive tannin, lively acids and a long, muscular finish. This will require patience. ~ 96-98 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Leoville Las Cases","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48166063145195,"sku":"CLLCSJ25FUT","price":1027.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/files\/Chateau_Leoville_Las_Cases_St._Julien_FUTURES_6_x_750ml.jpg?v=1720495750","url":"https:\/\/www.bighammerwines.com\/products\/2025-chateau-leoville-las-cases-saint-julien-futures-6-x-750ml","provider":"BigHammerWines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
