About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChateau Clos Du Marquis has been called a second wine of Leoville-Las-Cases but is actually delineated as a separate vineyard bottling from the Leoville-Las-Cases estate. While the winemakers and viticulturists are shared, the flavour profiles are explored separately. At modest alcohol and 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, this wine is a youthful expression of St Julien, vinified to a modest medium bodied weight, readily drinkable as a wine of finesse and elegance.

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.

With the alcohol hitting 13.6% in a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, this wine displays plenty of sweet kirsch, licorice and black currant fruit in a classy, seductive style, with medium to full body, soft but abundant tannins and a long finish. It does indeed possess the elegance and finesse of its bigger sibling, Leoville Las Cases. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Clos de Marquis is no longer a second wine, but rather one from a separate vineyard in the holdings of Leoville Las Cases. It should be thought of as a different entity, although the same winemaking team and philosophy are at play.
