Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
What makes this wine so special? To begin with, it has always been characterized by one of the purest and richest bouquets of classic cedary aromas and black currant fruit, with toasty vanillin notes. Stunningly well-balanced, concentrated flavors simply linger on the palate for a full minute or more. There is an extra dimension to virtually everything about the 1982 Leoville- Las Cases. It is a monumental wine!Additional Information

FranceThough French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil. |
