Description
Château Leoville las Cases St Julien 2009 (2nd Growth)
Cabernet Sauvignon 76%, Merlot 15%, Cabernet Franc 9%
The flowering and berry set both occurred in the best possible conditions thanks to the very fine weather. There was no excessive heat and the colour change was very quick and even thanks to a lovely sunny period in late July and early August. There was very little rain during the ripening process with a very dry yet not over hot month of August. The result was a quite early and remarkably even crop.
