Description
Clos du Marquis is a superb and younger drinking wine produced by the Delon family, owners of super second growth Château Léoville-Las-Cases. It is often mistaken as the 'second label' of the Grand Vin, however that is not the case as the vines for Clos du Marquis are entirely separate from those used for Leoville-Las-Cases. The second label is actually Le Petit Lion de Marquis.
A nose of ripe cherries, blackcurrants and notes of cigar box. The palate is ripe and juicy with crunchy red and blackcurrants. At full maturity now it is medium to full-bodied but superbly elegant.
It pairs beautifully with roast lamb and beef dishes and mature cheeses such as Cheddar.
