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:100 Drink:2030 - 2075
One of the high points of this great vintage, the 2016 Léoville Las Cases is a brilliant wine that unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's concentrated and complete, with beautifully refined tannins, vibrant acids and a long, mineral finish. Even in this series of great wines, it stands out for its cool classicism and unerring precision. Still an infant, while the 2016 is sufficiently polished to be far from forbidding, the real fireworks won't begin for another decade.
