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 1986 Leoville-Las Cases is still so youthful in appearance after 30 years, with only a thin bricking on the rim giving away its age. The bouquet is magnificent: extraordinarily pure and delineated, bewitching black fruit laced with cedar and graphite, the latter lending an almost Pauillac-like personality. The palate is exactly as I have found the previous dozen or so bottles I have tasted: structured, delineated, intense, aristocratic and imperious. It is less formidable than say, ten years ago, so it has probably just stepped onto its drinking plateau. The acidity is perfectly judged lending freshness and tension, crucial to counterbalance those layers of spicy black fruit that fans out with cedar and graphite (again) towards the finish. You come away with the feeling of having consumed a wine with immense energy, yet with so much more to give over the next three decades, and knowing this property, perhaps even the three decades after that! I would agree with the late Michel Delon: the 1986 Léoville Las-Cases is the summit of the 1980s. Tasted September 2016.
