Château Léoville Las Cases 1995 hails from one of Bordeaux`s esteemed Super Second Growth estates in the Saint-Julien appellation. This vintage is primarily comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, typically alongside Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The estate`s unique terroir features deep gravel over clay and sand, contributing to the wine`s profile. Fermentation occurs in a combination of wooden, concrete and stainless steel vats, followed by 18-20 months of ageing in French oak, often with a high proportion of new barrels. The resulting wine exhibits notes of blackcurrant, cedar and subtle spice, demonstrating capacity for extended ageing.
