The Story

Created in 1902, the Clos du Marquis has its origins in the "Petit Clos" adjacent to the Château de Léoville, home of the Marquis de Las Cases. The Clos du Marquis comes from the great terroirs of the Saint-Julien appellation that were not part of the former Léoville estate. 
These terroirs are located further west and surrounded by prestigious Crus Classés (Classifi ed Growths) including Second Growths from the Saint- Julien and Pauillac app...

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle, in an perfect condition and has by the neck level. Colour is cherry red, and looking clear and medium. On the nose it is open, ripe and rich. The taste is ripe, toasty, and dry, warming, and average in acidity, with well-integrated structure and the palate is average. On the palate it is layered and has cassis, tobacco, pepper and cedar flavours. The finish is medium long, gentle and a bit too flat .. This wine is nice but not special. I paid around 50-100€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years. Too expensive for quality. I do not recommend it.
