  • Goedhuis, April 2012, Score: 89-92

    The second label (not the second wine) of Léoville Las Cases which opens up with a mineral, tender palate, ample with darker fruits, soy sauce and smoky notes. Chewy and classic with notable density, this is a wine for the cellar.

  • Neal Martin, April 2022, Score: 89

    The 2011 Clos du Marquis has a pretty nose with vivacious red fruit, rose petal and light tertiary scents. Nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins, fine acidity, a little pinched and lacking length, but at least there is decent freshness. Not bad, but I have had better bottles than this example. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting. Drink 2022-2030

  • Robert Parker, April 2012, Score: 90-93

    A top-notch success that tips the scales at 13.6% natural alcohol, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc was cropped at only 27 hectoliters per hectare. Representing 40% of the entire production, this is a seriously endowed, deep purple-colored 2011 with lots of pure creme de cassis and black cherry liqueur notes intermixed with notions of cedar, vanillin and spice box. With good acidity, ripe tannin and surprising concentration as well as depth, this classic St.-Julien has once again over-performed.

  • James Suckling, April 2012, Score: 90-91

    This is very structured for the vintage with firm yet polished tannins and bright acidity. Lemony finish. Minerally. Full and dense. Nose is bright and floral. From Leoville Las Cases. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc.

  • Decanter, April 2012, Score: 17

    Superb expression of Cabernet cassis, great purity, depth, length and precision. A Pauillac-Saint Julien. Drink 2016-2028. (4 stars).

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2012, Score: 17.5

    65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc. 40% new barrels. Inky black cherry with black core. Wonderfully refined cassis fruit purity with just the slightest hint of cedar. Lovely elegance with fine fruit fragrance on the palate. Refined dry texture without any dryness. Top-class Cabernet character. Great length with finesse in the tannins to the very end. Classic St-Julien.

  • Wine Spectator, April 2012, Score: 90-93

    This is solid, with singed apple wood giving way to damson plum and blackberry fruit. Dark roasted vanilla bean and tar notes take over on the finish, which has nice stuffing.

Producer

Clos du Marquis

Clos du Marquis was first created in 1904 as a "brand", a second wine to Léoville Las Cases whichwould absorb the barrels not deemed fine enough for the grand vin. Over time it became a wine inits own right and since 1989 has been produced from separate parcels which lie outside Léoville LasCases' main vineyards.

Region

St Julien

St Julien is like the middle child of the Médoc - not as assertive as Pauillac or as coquettish as Margaux. It lies firmly between the two more outspoken communes and as a result produces a blend of them both. St Julien's wines have often been sought out by aficionados for their balance and consistency, particularly in the UK. Yet due to its middle child nature, it can occasionally be overlooked globally and as a result underrated by those markets outside the UK. Despite the fact that it has no first growths, it has several second growths including Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton, Léoville Poyferré and Ducru Beaucaillou as well as the celebrated châteaux such as Talbot and Beychevelle.
