2010 Grand Vin de Léoville Saint-Julien
Château Léoville-Las CasesLéoville-Las Cases is unquestionably one of the great names and wines of Bordeaux. Situated next to Latour, Léoville-Las Cases's main vineyard is on the border of Saint-Julien and Pauillac on some of the most prime real-estate in all of Bordeaux. While the meticulous and passionate commitment to quality here may be equaled by several other estates, it is rarely surpassed. The exquisitely structured wines of Léoville-Las Cases exhibit the rare yet coveted combination of power and finesse, and are of course built for extended cellaring. Should a reclassification of Bordeaux’s 1855 classification take place, Léoville-Las Cases would get some serious support for first-growth status.

About The Region
Bordeaux
Often considered the wine capital of the world, Bordeaux and its wines have captured the minds, hearts, and wallets of wine drinkers for centuries. For many, the wines provide an inalienable benchmark against which all other wines are measured.
Bordeaux is divided into three winegrowing regions with the city that gives the region its name in the near geographical center. The “right bank,” or the area located east of the Dordogne River, produces wines that are predominantly Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The “left bank” is located to the west of the Garonne River and produces wines dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
The third region, Entre-Deux-Mers, lies between both rivers and produces white wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. Though technically in the left bank, it is worth noting the appellation of Sauternes, which produces arguably the world’s most famous sweet wines from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle as well.
Though many top Bordeaux wines are sold en primeur (in advance of their bottling) and often through a middleman known as a negoçiant, Kermit has always preferred to purchase directly from the winemaker. For more than three decades he has sought out small producers, who make classic Bordeaux wines and are willing to play outside the negoçiant system. This ethic has led to longstanding relationships, excellent prices, and perhaps most important—wines of great value and longevity.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
