堂々たる存在感を放つジェロボームサイズで登場する2010年は、メドックの黄金期を象徴する偉大なヴィンテージ。カシスやブラックチェリーの濃厚な果実に、杉やスパイス、鉛筆の芯を思わせる複雑な香りが重なり、力強さと精緻さを兼ね備えた味わいを描きます。緻密でシルキーなタンニンと活き活きとした酸が骨格を形成し、気品あるミネラル感が余韻を引き締めます。長期熟成を約束するスケールの大きさは、特別な晩餐にふさわしい至高の一本です。

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
A deep garnet color with a subtle hint of aging on the rim, the glass reveals concentrated aromas of black fruits such as cassis and blackberry, layered with complex aromas of violet, cedar, pencil lead, cigar box, and subtle hints of truffle and spice.

The palate is classically structured, combining power and elegance. Fine, supple tannins envelop the tongue, while the rich fruit and firm acidity are perfectly balanced. The minerality and deep structure are impressive, and the finish is very long, with notes of black fruit, cocoa, and a hint of tobacco.

This magnificent wine embodies the great vintage of 2005, and still retains youthful potential, but with further aging it will blossom into even greater complexity and harmony.

Pairing
Rossini-style beef fillet, roasted duck breast with berry sauce, aged hard cheese (Comte 24 months or more)

Production

Léoville-Las-Cases boasts an extremely complex terroir. Its base is primarily Quaternary gravel, with underlying soils of sandy, gravelly and clayey soils. Additionally, clay layers of varying depth and compactness are scattered throughout, sometimes even emerging at the surface. The proximity of the Gironde River has contributed to the formation of this diverse soil through sedimentation over a long geological period. Furthermore, the river creates a unique microclimate, favoring early ripening of the grapes and protecting the vineyards from frost. This complex combination of geological factors influences the development of the vines and the composition of the fruit, resulting in a unique terroir that gives each Grand Vin its unique character.
