The grapes for this younger sibling of Léoville-Las Cases come from separate vineyards surrounded on all sides by Second Growths, so it shouldn't be an enormous surprise that it has produced a wine of this quality in 2006. It is incredibly elegant, with rich, stylish blackcurrant and raspberry fruit supported by firm tannins. There is an excellent structure and complexity boosted by the extra Cabernet Franc this year (13%, plus 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot) and a pure, long, focused finish. This is one of the great buys of the vintage. Drink: 2012-2025.
