拉斯卡斯堡的一項大膽作風就是大量減少釀產，像一個絕佳年份1986年生產旺盛的年份，那個酒莊不儘量量產，唯獨拉斯卡斯堡捨得剔除50%的收成，1990年份也不例外，也捨去了67%的收成，像這樣的酒莊早就有資格晉升為一級酒堡。在收成雨水較多的年份，她也是少數的酒莊之一，將多餘的水份過濾掉，以致不影響酒質。拉斯卡斯堡與另一個同在聖祖利安的Ducru Beaucaillou杜庫堡經常戶相較勁，不論在出廠價或品質上，可謂一山不容兩虎。這頭「獅子園」是頭睡獅子，一睡得10-15年才會甦醒，是個需要有耐心等待的酒莊，待她甦醒後那種結構緊密、集中、豐腴以及重單寧的獅子強烈的個性就會表現無疑。
WA:97 Drink:2021 - 2055
The 2009 Léoville Las Cases is aging very gracefully, exhibiting all the plenitude and generosity of the vintage without any of its potential excesses. Offering up aromas of sweet cassis, loamy soil, cigar wrapper, spices and a deft touch of classy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a layered core of fruit framed by fine, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, beautifully defined finish. It's at the beginning of what will be a long drinking window.
