Léoville Las Cases is widely regarded as a “Super Second,” and the 2000 vintage sealed its legend. Dense, tightly wound, and profoundly complex, this Saint-Julien masterpiece shows everything that made 2000 a landmark year in Bordeaux.
Full of cassis, cedar, spice, and graphite, it’s built for long aging. Now with over two decades of maturity, the wine is entering its peak—still structured, but blooming with secondary nuance.
