Clos du Marquis

Owned by the Delon family, the Clos du Marquis is a historic brand in the Médoc Saint-Julien created in 1902. Its origins lie in the "Petit Clos" adjoining the Château de Léoville, home of the Marquis de Las Cases. Long considered the second wine of Léoville Las Case, Clos du Marquis is now a cru in its own right. The vineyard comes from terroirs of theSaint-Julien appellation which were not part of the cadastre of the former Domaine de Léoville. These terroirs, which are physically separate from those of Las Cases, are located slightly further west and are surrounded by prestigious Seconds Crus Classés. The Clos du Marquis perfectly expresses the typicity of great Saint-Julien: structure, complexity, harmony, balance, distinction and ageing potential. Château Léoville Las Cases therefore comprises two properties with distinct distinct terroir characteristics and consequently produces two first wines with different tastes, despite their obvious an obvious filiation. Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée: Saint-Julien
