Clos du Marquis – Saint-Julien – Red – 2023 – 1500 ml:

 

The Pedigree of Saint-Julien: A Grand Vin in its Own Right

Clos du Marquis is a magnificent estate-bottled wine from Domaines Delon (Château Léoville Las Cases). Far from being a second wine, it is a Grand Vin in its own right, sourced from its own distinct, prime gravel terroir within the famed Saint-Julien appellation. It consistently delivers the complexity and aging potential of a Classified Growth.

Crafted with the same meticulous standards as the estate’s flagship wine, Clos du Marquis is a powerful yet elegant expression of a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant Left Bank blend. It’s a wine for the serious collector and the modern connoisseur.

Tasting Notes (Classic Vintage Profile)

• Nose: Intense and layered, showcasing concentrated blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, underscored by classic Médoc signatures of graphite, cedar, and fine tobacco.
• Palate: Full-bodied and structured, with a plush, fleshy core. The tannins are abundant but remarkably refined and silky, providing a seamless texture and superb length.
• Finish: Long, distinguished, and deeply mineral, promising decades of evolution in the cellar.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

This wine demands respect-and air. Decant for 3-6 hours when young. Serve at cellar temperature (60-65°F) to unlock its full aromatic potential.

• Ideal Pairings: Dry-Aged Ribeye Steak, Classic Beef Wellington, Roasted Venison Loin, Truffle-infused dishes.
