The Clos du Marquis produces great Bordeaux wines in the Saint-Julien appellation in the Médoc. The first vintage dates from 1902. The Clos du Marquis is adjacent to the Château Léoville Las Cases, property of the Marquis de Las Cases in 1840. For several years, Jean-Hubert Delon and his sister Geneviève d'Alton have managed the property with passion. The vines benefit from a reasoned viticulture. The harvest is done by hand when the grapes are ripe.
