WINEMAKER NOTES
1982 Chateau Leoville-Las Cases – A Benchmark Vintage from Saint-Julien
The 1982 Chateau Leoville-Las Cases is a defining example of Left Bank excellence from one of the Médoc’s most revered Second Growth estates. Crafted in a historic vintage and often considered a First Growth in quality, this Grand Vin from Saint-Julien showcases profound structure, aging pedigree, and classic Bordeaux character.
Tasting Notes
Now fully mature, the 1982 offers extraordinary complexity. Aromatics of blackcurrant, graphite, and cigar box evolve with notes of cedarwood, leather, and truffle. The palate is seamless, with softened tannins supporting layers of dark fruit, spice, and savory depth, leading to a long, nuanced finish.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Composed primarily of **Cabernet Sauvignon**, with smaller portions of **Merlot and Cabernet Franc**, the 1982 vintage was vinified using traditional methods and aged in oak barrels—approximately 50% new—for up to 20 months. The estate’s vineyards, located adjacent to Latour in Pauillac, are renowned for gravel-rich soils that yield wines of depth and longevity.
Investment & Collectibility
The 1982 Léoville-Las Cases is one of the greatest expressions from this château and remains highly prized among collectors. Its performance over four decades has solidified its status as one of the best values among Bordeaux’s elite wines. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
The **1982 Bordeaux vintage** is legendary, producing deeply structured wines that continue to age gracefully. Léoville-Las Cases was among the most successful wines of the year.
