Description
Established in 1902, Clos du Marquis originates from the Petit Clos, once the residence of the Marquis de Las Cases. Situated just 500 meters from Château Léoville Las Cases, its 44-hectare vineyard benefits from sandy-clay quaternary gravel soils, contributing to the wine's complexity and depth. The 2024 vintage, comprising 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, underwent 16 months of aging in 50% new oak barrels. This meticulous process results in a full-bodied and lively red wine that embodies the distinctive character of Saint-Julien.
