2001 Léoville Las-Cases

BY ANTONIO GALLONI | AUGUST 23, 2021

I admit it. I like the classics. Whether it is food, wine, music, art, fashion or anything else, my tastes have long been drawn to the classics, which I define as things that have lasting value over time. Those things that never go out of style. When it comes to wine, Léoville Las Cases is a classic. It is a wine I often chose to serve in important moments because of that sense of timelessness. One of the takeaways from our current pandemic is perhaps a greater appreciation for the simpler things in life, which maybe aren’t so simple after all, like this family lunch with my parents, whom I did not see for a year and a half.
