🏰Chateau Leoville Las Cases 1997 is considered **【one of the stars of the vintage, praised by critics for its outstanding richness, silky tannins, and exceptional purity, defying the challenging conditions of the year】**. Robert Parker awarded it 90 points, calling it "a star of the vintage." It displays a deep ruby color. The nose opens with refined cedar and black currant, building toward sweet cherry and floral violet notes, with a subtle spice framework. On the palate, ripe berry and cassis flavors expand, with blackberry and earthy undertones of leather. It finishes with silky, polished tannins and a long, minty-mineral finish.
🍴 Superb with roasted rack of lamb, grilled cote de boeuf, duck confit, aged Comte or Gruyere, or mushroom risotto.
🥂 A distinguished choice for a formal dinner, a significant anniversary, or a gathering of Bordeaux lovers.
BACKGROUND
Château Léoville-Las Cases is an estate in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, ranked as a second growth in the 1855 Classification of the Médoc and Graves.The estate has a history dating back to the mid-17th century, when it used to be part of a much larger estate. There are 98 hectares (242 acres) of vineyards, planted with 66 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 percent Merlot, 9 percent Cabernet Franc and 1 percent Petit Verdot. The vineyard's soils are mostly gravel over sand and clay, with some areas where the clay reaches the surface. The proximity of the Gironde moderates weather extremes, lowering the risk of frost and allowing grapes to ripen earlier than vineyards further inland. The vines are on average 40 years old.
