Histoire du domaine
The origins of the Léoville estate date back to the 17th century. Before passing to the de Las Cases family, it belonged to several French noble families. The aftermath of the French Revolution led to its division between 1826 and 1840. Château Léoville Las Cases was then formed from three-fifths of the former estate, comprising its heartland. It was classified as a second growth in the 1855 classification. Pierre-Jean, Adolphe and Gabriel de Las Cases succeeded one another at the head of the estate until 1900. That year, Théophile Skawinski acquired a share of the estate and became its estate manager. Le Clos du Marquis was created in 1902 from plots distinct from those of the grand vin. Since the late 19th century, the estate has been managed by the same family, now represented by Jean-Hubert Delon, the sole owner. Umberto Marino currently serves as cellar master there.
