About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChâteau Clos-du-Marquis is the second label of famous Saint-Julien house of Leoville Las Cases and is one of best second labels available on the market. Now a fully fledged Clos (walled vineyard), this is a wine that most probably should be considered a full classified wine. No clearer has that been proven that with the 2009 vintage of the Clos-du-Marquis that is showing classical characters of slate and wet rock yet with a overabundance of soft vanillan fruit and powerful berry fruit.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Now positioned as a totally separate vineyard and a real clos (enclosed walled vineyard), this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Jean-Hubert Delon is a beauty. Creme de cassis notes intermixed with some vanillin, crushed rock and spring flowers jump from the glass. Full-bodied and powerful (nearly 14% natural alcohol), this is a generously endowed, rich wine that was first made in 1902. The 2009 should drink well for 20-25 years. Readers need to think of it as a true classified growth, although technically it is not.
