The largest plot (60 hectares) of Léoville-Las Cases vineyards, known as the Grand Clos. Grand Clos is located on the northern boundary of St-Julien, with only the Juillac tributary separating its vineyards from those of Château Latour.

Wine :

The wine produced by this area is undoubtedly one of the best wines of Saint-Julien appellation, but also one of the best wines of Bordeaux. This wine has a black dress with blue reflections. The nose reveals itself slowly to let us guess aromas of red fruits, such as blackcurrant or blackberry, and ends with notes of smoky oak and Havana. In the mouth, we discover some complexity, with spicy, mineral and menthol aroma.
