    Description

    A full-bodied and lively red wine from Saint-Julien

    The estate

    Founded in 1902, the Clos du Marquis is a wine that originates from the Petit Clos, the former residence of the Marquis de Las Cases. Adjoining the Château Léoville Las Cases, the Clos du Marquis vineyard is located on the very grand terroirs of the Saint-Julien appellation on the left bank of the Bordeaux region. A strong brand of the Delon Estates, Clos du Marquis has a unique identity. The crus of Clos de Marquis rank among the elite of the greatest red wines of Saint-Julien.

    The vineyard

    Located on the most prestigious terroirs of the Saint-Julien appellation, Clos du Marquis is an exceptional vineyard, located 500 meters from the entrance of the Léoville Las Cases vineyard. With an average age of 35 years, the Clos du Marquis vineyard extends over 44 hectares of vines. Homogeneous, the terroir consists of a significant amount of organic matter on the surface with soils composed of sandy-clay quaternary gravels. These gravels have the particularity of being older and finer than those of the Léoville Las Cases enclosure terroir with more significant water constraints. Further from the Gironde, the Clos du Marquis terroir is therefore later with an extended grape maturation phase.

    Vinification and aging

    Aging for 16 months in barrels (of which 50% are new).

    Blend

    This Clos du Marquis 2024 is made from a blend of cabernet sauvignon (65%), merlot (30%) and cabernet franc (5%).
