Leoville Las Cases was owned by some of France's most significant and wealthy residents. The last royal family to own the estate was the one from which the château's name comes – the Lascases family. But the history of what we know as Château Leoville Las Cases does not start here. We must go back to 1638 when Jean de Moytié, a member of the Bordeaux Parliament, owned a vineyard. It remained in the hands of the Lascases family until they ran into financial difficulties. This forced the family to sell their shares to a number of prominent Bordeaux residents, among whom was the shrewd German businessman Théophile Skawinski. Skawinski showed a particularly keen interest in the property and became its chief manager. He transferred his shares to his descendants, the Delon family, who gradually began to buy out the remaining shareholders and acquired majority control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the Delon family owns two other properties – Potensac and Nenin – and Léoville Las Cases is managed by Jean-Hubert Delon, who succeeded his father in 2000 and became the fifth-generation family member to manage the estate. The vast 98-hectare vineyard of Léoville Las Cases is planted with 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. There are also a few remaining Petit Verdot vines. Interestingly, there has been an increase in Merlot plantings in the last few years. In the 1950s, the Leoville Las Cases vineyard underwent a major replanting after the legendary frosts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VIDA Wine and Spirits Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57462858908030,"sku":"B01023653","price":719.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/3766\/8990\/files\/Chateau-Leoville-Las-Cases-Saint-Julien-2_D0_9Ame-Cru-Classe-2010-1000x1000-1-1_93eedbff-c721-492e-a1ab-9eeb0c09e324.png?v=1779790757","url":"https:\/\/www.vida.bg\/en\/products\/chateau-leoville-las-cases-2eme-cru-classe-1982-0-75","provider":"VIDA Wine and Spirits Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
