Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru 2023

86 procent Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 procent Cabernet Franc og fire procent Merlot. pH-værdien er 3,79, og alkoholindholdet er 13,1 volumenprocent. Der blev høstet 43 hektoliter pr. hektar. 84 procent af vinen blev modnet i nyt træ. Høsten varede indtil 2. oktober. Sort-frugtagtig næse med sorte kirsebær og rige brombær - meget intens! Masser af lakrids, dette er brutalt intens Cabernet. Sjældent har jeg haft en næse, der kører så intenst på Cabernet. Men uden støtte fra vaniljetræ. Så ikke noget med Californien, men simpelthen kraftfuldt med tryk lige frem. Sort jord, ekstremt sort, skarp hollandsk lakrids. Wow, sikke en smag i næsen! Munden kommer så som en enkelt delikatesse, det havde jeg ikke forventet! Smukt sødt sort kirsebær, ekstremt hedonistisk og lækkert. Øjnene trækker sig sammen her, tungen ruller. Men ikke på grund af den høje syre, men på grund af den høje smagsintensitet. Sådan en koncentreret, fokuseret sort kirsebær! Sort jord - og det hele er indlejret i superbløde, silkeagtige tanniner. Mælk og bitter chokolade på samme tid, med en velsmagende længde. En lækkerbisken på højeste niveau, en ekstremt elegant delikatesse! Vinen står i minutter ... Læberne er salte og som dækket af cassis og sorte kirsebær. Den hollandske lakrids kommer også tilbage. Wow, sikke en blockbuster i finesse. Léoville-Las-Cases i total intensitet og alligevel totalt lækker og hedonistisk. Det er en fantastisk kombination. Aldrig før har denne vin været så åbenhjertig, omfavnende og alligevel stor! Jeg er meget begejstret! *** Trods sin nærhed til Pauillac er Léoville Las Cases altid tro mod sit terroir. På trods af sin enorme tæthed mangler den aldrig det legende aspekt af en Saint-Julien. Slottet ligger på en næsten to meter tyk gruslinse. Nedenunder er der et vandlagrende lag af ler. Vinstokkene er derfor velforsynede med vand, selv i år med tørke.

Årgangsrapport

Bordeaux 2023 fra en eksperts perspektiv på et modent og tidligt drikkeligt år med elegante, smigrende og silkeagtige tanniner, en høj nydelsesfaktor og et saftigt drikkeflow: Stephane Derenoncourt, ønolog, konsulent på højre og venstre bred, vinmager, en levende legende i Bordeaux: "Tanninerne var modne og af høj kvalitet overalt. Druerne viste fuld teknologisk og fenolisk modenhed. Vinene fra denne årgang er generelt harmoniske og dynamiske." *** Thomas Duclos, førende konsulent og ønolog på højre bred: "Vi opdagede konstant nye ting i 2023-årgangen. Det ville ikke overraske mig, hvis nogle 2023-vine om nogle år viser sig at være bedre end 2022-vinene. Årgang 2023 er meget smigrende: vi har en behagelig blødhed i eftersmagen uden tyngde, elegante teksturer, overraskende silkeagtige..." *** Axel Marchal, førende professor i ønologi ved universitetet i Bordeaux: "På trods af de ekstreme vejrforhold har 2023-årgangen produceret vine med god balance og smukke syrenoter. Vinene er meget behagelige, ikke enormt koncentrerede, men lækre, runde og frugtagtige." *** Michel Rolland, ønolog og vingårdskonsulent og Bordeaux-veteran: "Det aromatiske potentiale var godt, med fremragende aromatisk intensitet og modne frugtsmage. 2023 er en årgang uden overskud og overdådighed. Behagelig, lækker og nem at drikke!

Jane Anson om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Structured and powerful, this is not as forbidding as En Primeur in many vintages of Las Cases, showing both flesh and florality, but the tannic walls of this great estate remain fully in place, coupled with layers of cassis and bilberry fruits, subtle hints of bitter aniseed, fennel, cola, espresso, squid ink, textured slate tannins. Expect inky depths and unashamed austerity, a wine that will take its time to open, making no excuses for demanding patience. So so good, with a balance and classicism that delivers on the best of the vintage. 80% new oak, 6.6% press wine, 3.79h, harvest September 9 to October 2, 43hl/h yield. First year in the new cellars, with 43.5ha going into the main wine from the historic walled vineyard site.

Decanter om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Bright, gorgeous, expressive aromatics of dark purple and black fruit. A sense of opulence and clear Cabernet effects on the nose. Supple and agile, juicy and succulent, a rich almost thick cherry juiciness, fleshy, ripe and cool. Lovely minty, liquorice and graphite undertone that keep the freshness going to a long finish. It’s a bit bolder than I expected for LLC and also a bit bigger for the vintage. A characterful style, certainly not missing any body but retains pure charm - this is out to please, certainly not tough or too serious, this is more easy to approach. Lots of herbal elements, pencil lead, graphite and wet stone with cloves and cinnamon. It’s still compact no doubt, but despite the power there’s finesse and it ends clean and lifted. Up there with the best of the vintage. With 4% Merlot, it’s the lowest percentage ever in the blend - 2022 was 5%. 43hl/ha yield. Harvest September 9 to October 2. 6.6% press. 3.79pH. Ageing 18 months, 50% new.

Suckling om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Exceptional quality of cabernet comes through here, with a lot of graphite, lead pencil, crushed stone, walnut and currant fruit. It grows and expands on the palate, remaining in focus at the same time. Refined and seamless with beautiful tannins that show power and intensity. It rolls across the palate with verve. 86% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc and 4% merlot.

Tim Atkin om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Intense and concentrated with lush powerful cassis, graphite and cedar as well as toast and some red fruit hints. Very complex and beguiling. There is a fine chalkiness and sapidity, as well as sweet herbs and a sprig of mint. In the mouth the main aspect is the texture, already silken and beginning to integrate with a huge concentration and power, but also elegance and the classicism of the vintage and its ability to shine a light on the finest Cabernet terroirs in particular. Very fine finish featuring refined tannins and sappy freshness as well as a wealth of multi-layered fruit flavours and sensations. Power, purity and depth. An extraordinary wine.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

Cigar wrapper, creme de cassis, flowers, cherries, mint, and blackberries produce the bouquet. The palate is intense, full-bodied, concentrated, racy, and vibrant. The fruit has lift, length, purity, and a creamy edge to the racy-mouth-feel. The finish lingers, with layers of perfectly, ripe, berries that build, and expand in the mid-palate, through to the juicy, sapid finish. As always, Leoville Las Cases requires bottle aging. But for Las Cases, it is going to be a pleasure to taste relatively early, with just a decade of age. Produced from a blend 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Merlot. 13.10% ABV. 3.79 pH. Harvesting took place September 9 – October 2. This is not only the third time in the history of the estate with more Cabernet Franc than Merlot in the blend. It is also the smallest amount of Merlot ever placed into the Grand Vin. It is also interesting to note that LLC was the first major wine to be released in the 2023 campaign, setting the stage for what could take place this year. Drink from 2030-2065.

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

The 2023 Leoville Las Cases is deep garnet-purple in color. After a little shaking, notes of ripe blackcurrants, black cherries, and mulberries slowly emerge from the glass, giving way to a fragrant undercurrent of iris, crushed rocks, fertile loam, and dark chocolate. The medium-bodied palate is very tightly wound with taut black berry layers and loads of mineral accents, framed by firm fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. This should be a very long-lived Las Cases! The blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Merlot, with pH 3.79, alcohol of 13.1%, and TPI 72. It is aging for around 18 months in French oak barriques, 80% new.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Leoville Las Cases 2eme Cru

The 2023 Léoville Las-Cases was picked from September 9 to October 2 at 43hL/ha and matured in 80% new oak barrels. This has a very precise bouquet, and, like the Clos du Marquis, it is imbued with an attractive estuarine element—aromatics that transport the imbiber to the banks of the Gironde. The oak is neatly integrated; 80% is much more optimal than 100% would have been. The palate is lightly spiced on the entry, moderately deep and quite lively on the mid-palate. This is a more linear Las-Cases than recent vintages, conveying a sense of "seriousness" toward the almost saturnine finish. Impressive in terms of persistence, this is a worthy follow-up to the magnificent 2022, but it will demand patience.
