Leoville Las Cases – First Among Super Seconds

Bordeaux’s Big 5 tend to get all the hype, but smart buyers know the secret to drinking Bordeaux’s best for less: look to the Super Seconds. Not only do Second Growth wines come at a fraction of the cost of First Growths, but modern winemaking technology has pretty much erased the large quality differences that used to set these châteaux apart.

And among the Super Seconds, Léoville Las Cases is one of our go-to estates—the wines are consistently mesmerizing yet deliver the kind of value even our accountant approves of. Lovingly referred to as the “First Among Super Seconds” for its incredible track record, Léoville Las Cases has amassed a level of positive reviews across the wine-reviewing press that would make even some of the First Growths jealous.
