1997

Château Leoville Las Cases is a prestigious winery in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, renowned for producing high-quality, age-worthy wines. With a history dating back to the 17th century, the estate is known for its impeccable attention to detail in both vineyard management and winemaking.

This 1997 vintage of Leoville Las Cases is a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Despite the challenging weather conditions of the year, the wine exhibits a deep ruby color with aromas of black currant, cedar, and tobacco. On the palate, it is elegant and well-structured, with layers of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes leading to a long, smooth finish. This wine is approaching its peak drinking window and would pair beautifully with grilled meats or hearty stews.
