Michel Delon, a great man, is the consummate proprietor, meticulously administering this vast estate spread out along the St.-Julien/Pauillac border, separated from Latour's finest vineyard by a mere ten feet. The 1993-95 vintages from Delon are brilliant

The 1994 Léoville Las Cases has a really lovely bouquet with red berry fruit, sous-bois, cedar and tobacco, an archetypical Las Cases with plenty of vigor. The palate is well balanced, a little austere but in a good way, with fine cohesion and freshness.

The palate is well balanced, a little austere but in a good way, with fine cohesion and freshness. Tobacco and black pepper appear on the finish. Given market prices, if you like traditional Claret, then this is for you. Tasted at the château.

Saint-Julien

Saint-Julien, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the Médoc, is famed for its balanced red wines, blending the power of Pauillac with the elegance of Margaux. Typically made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, these wines offer rich fruit flavours, refined tannins, and vibrant acidity. Known for their finesse, complexity, and long ageing potential, top producers include Château Léoville-Las Cases, Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, and Château Gruaud-Larose. Saint-Julien wines are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
