Château Leoville Las Cas, 2004

Chateau Leoville Las Cases is a prestigious St Julien Second Growth, which is the largest vineyard of all three Leoville estates at 98 hectares.

One of the oldest Medoc estates, Domaine de Léoville belonged to some of the wealthiest and most influential noble French families before it was acquired by the Las Cases family. The estate was split up between 1826 and 1840 as a result of the French Revolution. (Expropriation of emigrants’ property and constitution of egalitarian redistribution). Château Léoville Las Cases was created, thanks to a kind of birthright, from 3/5 of the original estate and the heart of the domain.
