Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases - Saint-Julien - Rouge - 2023

It's a roaring Little Lion! There's nothing "small" about this exceptional wine, as it comes from the youngest vines in the large historic Las Cases enclosure, the same one that produces the great wine of Château Léoville Las Cases. Jean-Hubert Delon and his team know how to give maximum expression to this cru; in 2023, a great vintage on the Left Bank, they have once again perfectly identified its potential, its velvety texture and its sharp reading of the great Cabernet Sauvignons. Offering silky, velvety fruit and a delicate texture, it exudes a unique tactile sensation that is totally stunning.

Le Petit Lion is a label prized by connoisseurs, who are well aware that it exceeds its "second" perimeter and offers much more than that. Racy like its predecessor, with a more accessible texture, it combines depth and brilliance with astonishing ease. It is capable of overshadowing the great wines of certain châteaux...

Treat yourself to this delightful achievement, at a relatively reasonable price for a wine of this calibre and pedigree!
