all red Bordeaux blends

One or two estates managed to pick the grapes before the rain but most did not

Situated on a low hillock (or "puy") above the village of Bages in the Pauillac region of the Medoc

Talaska Vineyard

Produced by the esteemed Chateau Leoville Las Cases

Situated in the Entire Deux Mers area of Bordeaux and looked after in the same way as many of the Haut Medoc classed growths

Short finish

Today the estate is owned by descendants of the Davis family who have continued to manage and modernize the château since 1921
