Product Details

Varietal Red Wine
Region Bordeaux
Country France
Producer Chateau Leoville Las Cases
ABV 13.5%
Size 750ml

The 2016 Le Petit Lion is composed of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with notions of warm blackcurrants, blackberry pie, redcurrant jelly and tilled soil with touches of hoisin, Sichuan pepper, unsmoked cigars, red roses and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate explodes with vibrant red and black fruit preserves, with a wonderfully fine-grained frame and very long, lifted finish.

Professional Ratings

96 James Suckling
Makes a classic impression from the outset with ripe but contained, red and dark-berry aromas, framed in cedar, blackcurrants and violets. The palate has exceptional depth and very focused, pristine red-plum and cherry flavors hold long and seamless into the finish. A vibrant young wine. Second wine of Leoville Las Cases.
93 Wine Enthusiast
This elegant wine comes from young vines in the Clos of Leoville las Cases. It has something of the same structure but with a juicy fruitiness that contrasts with the tannins and density.
