Deep and poised, Le Petit Lion de Léoville Las Cases 2020 layers pure blackcurrant and black cherry fruit with hints of wild herbs and damp earth, framed by finely etched yet plentiful tannins. The palate feels concentrated but not heavy, with a cool, classical St-Julien profile and a long, focused finish that shows this second wine’s striking seriousness in 2020.

Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases is the true second wine of Château Léoville Las Cases in Saint-Julien, crafted mainly from younger Cabernet Sauvignon and old-vine Merlot grown within the estate’s grand walled “Enclos.” Blended typically from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc and aged in around 30% new French oak, it offers a more approachable, supple and Merlot‑plump expression of Las Cases’ dark-fruited, graphite‑mineral style while still retaining notable structure and aging potential.
