The unique terroir of Léoville Las Cases has produced great Cabernet, deep and elegant, complex and tense, as well as suave and airy Merlot. An elegant and tense vintage offering both the delicious caress of succulent Merlot and the freshness of young Cabernet Sauvignon. A worthy representative of its great terroir of origin. The Grand Enclos de Las Cases contains a terroir of great complexity. Its closeness to the Gironde River generates a very specific microclimate which allows very early maturity of the grapes and protects the vineyard from frost. This incomparable terroir creates great wine with a unique personality.

Critic Reviews
Neal Martin
90-92 Points
90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2022 Le Petit Lion now includes the best parcels of the second wine of Clos du Marquis. Dark berry fruit, black olive compote and a light estuarine scent on the nose. It is quite powerful and well-defined, one can admire the focus. The palate is medium-bodied with rather chalky tannins on the entry. Firm in structure and saline, there is just a touch of abruptness on the chewy finish that should fill out during its barrel maturation." 4/23
James Suckling
92-93 Points
92-93 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "A juicy and layered red with blackberry and black cherry character. Full and rich. Crunchy. Fine texture, but lots of tannins. 55.5% cabernet sauvignon, 38.5% merlot and 6% cabernet franc." 04/23
Antonio Galloni
92-94 Points
92-94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2022 Petit Lion is rich and sumptuous, but much more than that in terms of its complexity and distinction. Dramatic and sweeping, the 2022 is immediately captivating. Black cherry, gravel, scorched earth, licorice and lavender infuse the 2022 with tons of nuance. In this tasting, the Petit Lion is absolutely compelling. There’s terrific depth and density here, likely because of the high percentage of Merlot. What a gorgeous wine it is." 4/23
