The name of Clos du Marquis, created in 1902, was inspired by the Petit Clos adjacent to the Château de Léoville, residence of the Marquis de Las Cases. Produced from top terroirs of the Saint-Julien appellation, this is an estate that produces wines with superb structure, complexity, harmony, distinction and ageing potential. The 2010 release is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Expect notes of dark fruit and sweet spice with a floral lift.
