ABOUT THE WINE
Own by the Delon family of Leoville Las Cases, Clos du Marquis was created in 1902. The name was taken from the Petit Clos, the residency of the Marquis de Las Cases, and the estate consists of a patchwork selection of vineyards within the appellation of Saint Julien which were not historically part of the Domaine de Leoville. Having been created after the 1855 classification, the estate has no ranking, but represents an excellent expression of the region.
TASTING NOTES
Attractive, perfumed aromas of red berries, wild heather, cedar and raspberry coulis. Opulent on the palate, with genteel tannin giving structure to red and black fruit characters, finishing with a mineral element. 50% new oak adds a plush smoothness to the overall experience.
FOOD PAIRING
Best for beef dishes, although the wine is quite versatile and will serve well with a wide array of full-bodied dishes.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
An impressive, accessible Saint Julien, with excellent ageing potential – this will drink well until 2034 and beyond.
