Château Léoville Las Cases 1985

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

u.1bn, 6 just into neck or better, rest good, 3 labels very slightly nicked and creased otherwise good appearance; 3 étiquettes très légèrement entaillées et plissées, sinon bonne apparence

A beautiful, generous, blackberry nose, with tempting 1985 opulence and generosity. Lovely ripe plums on the palate. So fresh and fruity. Sink into it. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

From a single private cellar, this sale contains a selection of the most coveted names of Bordeaux, Burgundy and others - including Rayas and Vega Sicilia - the property of a passionate collector with an enormous appreciation of the world’s very best wines, far ahead of its time in its discerning taste. The cellar composition is excellent, spanning more than 6 decades of the Finest Cuvées with a distinct focus on the 1980’s exemplified with immaculate parcels of Bordeaux in their original wooden cases - not to mention a unique offering of 20 bottles of Le Pin - and a plethora of Burgundy, with a wonderful array of illustrious Domaines from Georges Roumier, Armand Rousseau, René Engel, Georges Mugneret, Méo-Camuzet, and Michel Gaunoux to name a few. The vast majority of these brilliant wines were purchased directly decades ago at the properties - or for Bordeaux via Maisons Duclot and Descaves -, and were safely stored in an immaculate, air-conditioned cellar in the Parisian region
