Château Léoville Las Cases 1989 is a noteworthy example from this esteemed Bordeaux estate, renowned for its Super Second Growth status. Located in the Saint-Julien appellation, this vintage showcases a blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting typical proportions of 65-85%, alongside Merlot and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The winemaking process employs a combination of wooden, concrete and stainless-steel fermentation before maturation for 18-20 months in predominantly new French oak barrels. Château Léoville Las Cases has been in the hands of the Delon family since the late 19th century, contributing to its legacy and consistent quality.
