Product Highlights
The Petit Lion shares the philosophy of its two elder siblings; it's vinified and aged in order to preserve its fresh, ripe fruit flavors throughout its life. However, it's designed as a second wine, and is therefore made to be more accessible and for earlier drinking, with a significant proportion of merlot used in the blend.

Expert Reviews
Aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, crushed stones, bark, and rose petals follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins that are nicely integrated into the wine. It’s firm and tight and will open nicely with bottle age. Pretty second wine of Las Cases. Try after 2027.
