Not surprisingly in light of the success of the Northern Medoc in 2003, this chateau has once again produced one of the wines of the vintage. The yield here was just 21.2 hectoliters per hectare, according to estate manager Jacques Depoizier, and the grand vin represents a selection of just 54% of the estate's fruit. Depoizier noted that the wine's oak is masking its fat today. "In fact," he told me, "the 2003 will probably close down after the bottling. But we said that about the '96 too, and the '96 is not terribly closed today. We may bottle the '03 later than usual; it appears to need a longer elevage Depoizier described the conditions of 2003 as "a green dryness: the vines didn't lack for water."

Here's another shockingly ripe 2002, with 13.5% natural alcohol. Only in vintages 1986, 1989 and 1990 did Leoville-Las Cases surpass 13%, said Jean-Hubert Delon. With the severe coulure during the flowering and the hydric stress in the heat of summer, there were similarities to the 1961 vintage, noted Delon. This was one of the most impressive young wines of the vintage, with the Clos du Marquis also a notable success in 2002.

The grape sugars barely budged during the very cool, dry first half of September, allowing a nice slow ripening of the tannins, noted Jean-Hubert Delon. Ultimately, potential alcohol levels reached roughly the same level as in the previous year, requiring very little saignee or osmose inverse, and measurable tannins were actually a hair higher in 2001 than in 2000. Actually, Delon maintains, the grapes in 2000 were more fragile than those of 2001. The crop level in 2001 was just 32 hectoliters per hectare, and only 40% of the fruit will be used for the grand vin The 2000 is more massive and monolithic, but the '01 is finer and perhaps equally long.
