The Wine Advocate

"The 2020 Léoville Las Cases is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot, aging in 80% new French oak barriques, weighing in with an alcohol of 13.68%, a pH of 3.8 and an IPT (tannins index) of 79. The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from the 21st to the 27th of September, the Merlot from the 12th to the 15th of September and the Cabernet Franc on the 18th and 19th of September. With an opaque purple-black color, it slowly unfurls to reveal beguiling notes of fresh blackcurrants, Morello cherries, candied violets and dark chocolate, giving way to an undercurrent of crushed rocks, unsmoked cigars, clove oil and fragrant earth. The medium-bodied palate is a powerhouse of energy, delivering tightly wound red and black fruits, mineral and floral layers, supported by fantastic tension and incredibly ripe, silt-like tannins. The finish has jaw-dropping fragrance and depth.

“In six months, from November to June, we got more rain than we do in an average entire year,” Pierre Graffeuille, managing director at Léoville Las Cases told me. In June, it moved to a hot and very dry summer. The vines were not so affected by the drought, depending on the terroir. But terroir was a key element to overcome the drought. Proximity to the river was beneficial—it is always cooler by the river. Also, the percentage of clay in the soil was a key factor. Luckily, we have clay subsoils in the estates. The last key was the age of the vine. At Las Cases, the vines are more than 50 years old. Sand and gravel-based soils were more challenging. The [berries] were very concentrated due to the drought, but they were also very fresh. We harvested early compared to 2018. We started the 10th of September and finished on the 27th of September. Extraction had to be very gentle, because the skins were very thick and there was a lot of tannin. We lowered the amount of pump-overs by 30% compared to 2019. And we maintained cooler fermentation temperatures to avoid to overextraction.”"

Decanter Magazine

"A subtle intensity where the power steals up on you through the palate - this is an excellent example of what Las Cases can deliver. Intellectual, concentrated and reined in for the foreseeable future. You get the full array of serious St-Julien character - pencil lead, cigar box, cassis bud, bilberry, earth and granite-edged tannins, this needs time. Very little press wine was used because this has such a plainly evident natural intensity. Needs time, but knowing how this estate is a slow burner even in generous vintages, you are going to need a lot of patience for this vintage to reach its drinking window. Impressive, not yet showing its heart. May be upscored once in bottle. This is 1% less than 2018 and 0.5% less than in 2019 in terms of alcohol. 3.65pH. A yield of 34hl/ha."

"Very deep colour. Dense and reserved with an abundance of dark, ripe fruit. Tannins really very fine, providing length and persistence but no aggression. A measured wine with good concentration and a saline freshness but without the muscle seen some years. More St-Julien than Pauillac this year."

Jeff Leve

"Dark garnet in color, the wine pops with aromas of tobacco leaf, cigar box, cedar, herbs, black currants, coffee and spice. Refined, fresh, polished and firm, the fruit is vibrant, long and intense. The tannins are ripe almost creamy in texture. The finish is long, regal and compelling, leaving you with layer, of black currants and cassis. Give this at least 12-15 years before popping a cork and enjoy it for the next 3 decades after that. The wine is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, 13.68% ABV, 3.80 pH. The harvest took place from September 12 - September 27, making this the earliest vintage since 1989."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Couleur sombre, intense, pourpre et belle. Nez très aromatique, fin, subtil, sentant les fruits noirs comme jamais auparavant. Bouche tout en délicatesse de toucher, avec beaucoup de goût, des tannins au grain fin et un brin de discrétion dans l’expression générale. Il ressemble beaucoup au profil de Latour cette année. Assemblage : 81 % cabernet sauvignon, 11 % cabernet franc, 8 % merlot. Degré d’alcool : 13°6 – pH : 3,8 (moyenne +) – IPT : 79 (moyenne). Rendement : 38 hl/ha. Production : 60 % de la récolte."

Revue du Vin de France

"Une essence de grand vin. Brillant, racé, tendu, modéré en alcool (13,6°), juteux et moelleux, il impose une finale d’une fraîcheur folle et s’étire de longues secondes. Une déflagration de fruits en milieu de bouche, puis de la menthe et du poivre blanc pour clore le bal des saveurs."

"This is incredibly classic in style with so much currant, lead pencil, crushed stone and sweet tobacco. It’s full-bodied with minerally, stoney and powerful tannins. It goes on and one. Real Las Cases here. Solid as a rock. Progresses to violet, graphite and licorice at the end."

"The flagship 2020 Château Léoville Las Cases checks in as 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Merlot, raised in 80% new French oak. Hitting 13.68% in alcohol with a Ph of 3.8 and an IPT of 79, it shows the dense, concentrated, focused style of the vintage and it's going to be one of the longer-lived wines of the vintage. Deep purple-hued, with an incredible sense of minerality in its blackcurrant and black cherry fruits, it's full-bodied, has a rich, layered mid-palate, lots of tannins, and a great finish. It's a beautiful wine and holds onto the more inward, concentrated style of the vintage while still showing serious depth of fruit. It's going to take a decade (or more) of bottle age to get anywhere close to the early stages of maturity but will keep for 30-40 years."

VINOUS

"The 2020 Léoville Las Cases comes across as a super-classic Saint-Julien that combines mid-weight structure of previous decades, with the greater textural finesse that has become the norm here in recent years. A shy introvert, the 2020 Las Cases won’t impress with size or brawn as is often the case, but with a total sense of finesse. Readers with classically leaning palates will flip out over the 2020. I can't wait to watch it evolve, hopefully for many decades to come. It is certainly one of the standouts of the year at this point."

Antonio Galloni 95-98 Punkte

 

"The 2020 Léoville–Las Cases was picked September 12–29 and matured in 80% new oak with 13.68° alcohol. The Cabernet Sauvignon is in the driving seat on the nose, offering almost saturnine black fruit, pencil shavings and cedar, perhaps one of the most Pauillac-like bouquets that I have noticed on this wine out of barrel, which is no surprise considering its vines adjoin that appellation. The palate is medium-bodied, strict and linear at first, that Pauillac tincture the continuing theme thanks to conspicuous graphite/pencil lead notes interwoven into the black fruit. There is plenty of freshness here and impressive weight, yet no sense of heaviness toward the finish."

Yves Beck

"Was für eine Komplexität und Größe in diesem Bouquet. Es wirkt auf mich sehr klassisch, sehr Las Cases und zeigt eine kommunikative, einladende Energie. Fruchtige und blumige Noten. Anklänge von Süßholz, Kirschen und Himbeeren gepaart mit Cabernet Frische, zu denen sich Anklänge von Graphit und Zedernholz gesellen. Am Gaumen ist der Wein dicht, kompakt und subtil. Die Tannine sind zunächst diskret, zeigen dann im Crescendo ihre Kraft und erreichen ihre Amplitude am Gaumenende. Die Tannine geben Fülle, Größe und sind im Einklang mit der Schärfe der Säurestruktur. Ein Wein, der sich mit einer großartigen Auffassung von stiller Kraft zeigt. Ein hervorragender Wein."

Falstaff

"Im altersgerecht stillen, aber klaren Duft Cassis, Waldheidelbeere, Sauerkirsche. Auch deutliche florale Töne. Im Mund unmittelbar salzig, dazu dicht mit fleis- chig-körnigem Tannin besetzt, eine etwas mildere Stoffigkeit, als man es früher kannte. Festes Säuregerüst, aber da liegt auch eine überraschende Geschmeidigkeit unter der phenolischen Kraft. Im Nachhall zeigen sich reife, mazerationsfruchtige und würzige Cabernet-Noten."

Le figaro

"Un bouquet qui donne la sensation de marcher dans une forêt sombre, par une nuit de pleine lune, avec des notes de broussailles, de cassis et de framboises, et des effluves de sous-bois derrière lesquelles on entendrait presque les aiguilles de pin craquer sous la chaussure. Une bouche ample et pleine de confiance, de fruits rouges flanqués d'une belle acidité, avec des tannins denses et veloutés."

Anthocyanes

"Cassis, mure, un peu fermé mais tellement complexe. Bouquet à la fois pur et frais malgré un côté un peu terrien. Pureté de fruits incroyable. Toucher de bouche plein, ferme sans être dur, sur des rails pour une allonge superbe. Des tanins d'une très grande précision, cristallins et précis, comme des lasers. Superbe fraicheur. Un Las Cases qui fera date tant sa construction sur l'allonge et la salinité lui apporteront un potentiel de garde exceptionnel. La définition de ce cru ne cesse d'augmenter au fil des ans pour atteindre, dans ces derniers millésimes, un niveau exceptionnel. Une bouteille que tout amateur se doit de posséder."
