"... sehr klare, schöne, frische und große Frucht, blaubeerig, Cassis, sehr schöne Balance, feine Schoko-Noten, saftig, tolle Struktur, sehr maskulin, ganz große und kräftige Tannine, sehr gut eingebunden, wow, besser als 2022" (04/2026)


Falstaff: 99 Punkte 

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Nuancen nach Brombeeren, Cassis, Heidelbeeren und etwas Nougat, feine Edelholzwürze, facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, straff, rotbeerige Nuancen in der Textur, reife, präsente Tannine, mineralisch, zitronig-salzig im Abgang, verfügt über große Animationskraft, rote Herzkirschen im Nachhall, wird von Reife profitieren." - Peter Moser (04/2026) 


Yves Beck: 100 Punkte 

"Las Cases überrascht durch sein Bouquet mit Noten von reifen schwarzen Beeren, aber das scheint mir nur eine Strategie zu sein, um die Aufmerksamkeit des Verkosters zu wecken, denn letztendlich ist es doch der König Cabernet, der das Bouquet dominiert! Die Eukalyptusnoten verbinden sich mit Düften von Brombeeren und Granatäpfeln, bevor sie Raum für spitzere, frischere Nuancen lassen, in denen Kraft, Temperament und Subtilität eine sozusagen unwahrscheinliche Harmonie schaffen. Lascases bleibt Lascases, er steht über Modernisierungen und Investitionen, freut sich aber dennoch, sich entfalten zu können und noch mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu genießen. Was für ein bemerkenswerter Wein, was für eine herrliche Interpretation des Terroirs, was für eine Energie. Léoville Las Cases 3.0! Zeitlos, traditionell, modern." (04/2026)

"Deep, violet-hued in the glass, this barrel sample opens with remarkably expressive aromatics of cool blue fruit and ripe cassis, layered with hints of hawthorn and integrated oak spice, signaling this estate's pedigree. The attack is immediate, initially juicy with mid-palate fruit that swiftly yields to a formidable structure. The tannins are powerful (IPT 82), dense and commanding, their presence further accentuated by a relatively low pH of 3.56. At this stage, the balance clearly favors Pauillac styled power over St Julien charm, with the fruit somewhat restrained by the sheer scale of the tannic frame. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend combined with low yields of 23 hl/ha due to the tiny grapes harvested underscores the wine’s concentration and depth. Élevage is expected to extend up to 22 months in 80% new oak, a choice that should help absorb and refine the structure. A distinct mineral, saline edge emerges on the finish, though presently dominated by the tannic grip. This is the first vintage produced in the estate’s new six-story cellar, equipped with 120 fermentation tanks in oak and stainless steel (up from 40), enabling highly precise parcel-by-parcel and intra-parcel vinification. The addition of a vinothèque reflects the estate's long-term vision. Under the direction of Arnaud Delon, marking his first vintage alongside his father, Jean-Hubert Delon, the technical precision is evident in the glass. A wine of impressive scale and clear potential, though one that will require patience to fully harmonize. (PK)" (04/2026)

"A serious but classic Las Cases style with a fragrant nose of roses and violets, blackcurrant and plum. Grippy from the off, the Cabernet playing its part in giving structure straight away – so well defined. Power and focus, it’s ripe no doubt but with no dryness thanks to this fresh, mouthwatering fruit in the background – raspberry and cranberry, almost tart. Striking and quite a unique style: supple, energetic and vibrant yet still super coiled and tight. One to wait for with ageing for sure. Has the polish and lots of star power here – refined and focused. 3.56pH." - Georgina Hindle (04/2026)

"Gänsehaut ist vorprogrammiert, wenn man diesen Wein im Glas hat; es fehlen einem fast die Worte, man möchte eintauchen, dunkle Frucht, kühler Kamin, Veilchenblüten, Zedernholz; der Gaumen ist von grosser Eleganz; am Gaumen mit beeindruckender Dichte, die sich mit einer überraschenden Leichtigkeit paart, dieser Las Cases ist wie ein Balletttänzer, der im Sprung den Spagat macht, symbolisch für ein heisses Jahr, das im Glas erstaunlich frisch endet und den kühlen Charakter der Region Bordeaux perfekt widerspiegelt." - Adrian van Velsen (04/2026)

The 2025 Léoville Las Cases is powerful, tightly wound and very shut down—in other words, classic Las Cases. In some recent vintages, the Grand Vin has shown somewhat softer contours, but the 2025 is really a throwback to a more muscular, classically austere style. It offers tremendous persistence and sheer power, but beyond that, the wine is pretty hard to read in the early going, certainly much more so than any of the other wines in the Delon stable. I expect this will need many years to be at its most rewarding. Based on this en primeur sample, the 2025 is a wine for readers who have actuarial tables on their side.

The texture is fantastic, with superb aromas of graphite, blackberries and blueberries. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that are pure and primary, like eating perfectly ripe grapes. It’s the high quality of the tannins. A very classic Las Cases. 82% cabernet sauvignon, 12% cabernet franc and 6% merlot. (04/2026)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Léoville Las Cases storms from the glass with powerful notes of warm cassis, ripe plums, and anise, followed by suggestions of dark chocolate, crushed rocks, violets, and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is so graceful and intense, delivering wonderfully pure, nuanced black fruit and mineral layers with exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and great tension, finishing long and perfumed. A triumph. The blend is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Merlot. It has a pH of 3.56 and the alcohol is 13.65%. The wine is aging for 18 months in French barriques, 80% new.

Fresh round and pleasing nose with notes of marzipan, blancmange and crispy fruit. The wine is well balanced with a fine tannic backbone and an elegant, velvety fruity cassis-like layer of fruit. This is a very classical expression for this wine and it should develop nicely. Very fresh, juicy and peppery aftertaste. It was the earliest harvest ever recorded starting on 5th of September. (04/2026)

One of the most serious, brooding wines of the vintage is the 2025 Léoville Las Cases, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, pencil shavings and creamy new oak, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and dense, with prodigious reserves of sweet but assertive tannin, lively acids and a long, muscular finish. This will require patience.
