Created in 1902, the name of Clos du Marquis was inspired by the Petit Clos adjacent to the Château de Léoville, residence of the Marquis de Las Cases. Now owned and produced by the Delon family, it is often referred to as the “second wine” of Léoville Las Cases, however, this is incorrect as technically it is a separate cuvée in its own right made from vineyards that are entirely different and do not feature in the Grand Vin. 1985 was widely considered an excellent vintage and this should now be at its peak for drinking.
