Chateau Leoville Las-Cases Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases Saint-Julien 2020

The second wine of a legendary estate, yet a formidable contender in its own right. Le Petit Lion channels the power and precision of Léoville Las-Cases without pretense—a bold blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot that refuses to play it safe. Dark cassis, graphite, and cracked black pepper assault the senses, while the palate delivers muscular tannins wrapped around layers of dark cherry, tobacco leaf, and cedar. This is Bordeaux with an edge: structured enough to age a decade or more, yet drinking with compelling intensity today. Decant generously and pair with grilled ribeye or aged lamb to unlock its full rebellious character.
