在波爾多左岸的St-Julien村有三家名字冠有Leoville(意思是「獅子村」)的酒莊，因為它們在17到18世紀一度是隸屬於同一個地主的莊園，後來隨著繼承的分割而逐漸形成三家酒莊，而Leoville- Las-Cases是這三家酒莊中最優秀的。Leoville- Las-Cases在1855年的頂級酒莊分級中，亦榮獲二級酒莊的高度評價。
Leoville- Las-Cases的葡萄園是位於Gironde河岸邊的優異位置，事實上就緊鄰著五大酒莊之一的Chateau Latour的葡萄園，表層土壤同樣是深厚的礫石土，因此它的酒也常常被認為是最像Latour的紅酒；其優異的品質表現甚至被譽為是最有實力晉升一級酒莊的！

The 1996 Leoville-Las Cases is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc picked between 25 September and 10 October (for fascinating insight, read Robert Parker's remarks about the blend with Michel Delon in the original tasting note). Now at 20 years, it has evolved into an absolutely stunning Saint Julien, clearly one of the best wines from the estate this decade. The bouquet is beautifully defined with intense black cherries, cedar, mint and a touch of oyster shell that seems to gain intensity in the glass. The palate is seamless from start to finish, extraordinarily pure, the 70% new oak totally assimilated of course, impressive weight and power allied with genuine finesse and tension towards the silky smooth finish. It stands as one of the best wines of the vintage without one iota of doubt and it will last 30-40 years without problem. You might call it "proper Claret." You might call it "delicious." Tasted July 2016.
