Chateau Leoville Las Cases (雄獅酒莊)，是法國波爾多的二級酒莊。
“Chateau Leoville Las Cases 是梅多克品質最穩定的酒莊 – 當然也是最好的酒莊之一，Delon家族的努力讓酒莊的每一個年份都接近完美的標準” - <<城堡裡的珍藏 – 波爾多葡萄酒>>
如今名為 Leoville-Las-Cases的酒莊，早在1638年便已存在，只是當時還不是酒莊，而是雄偉的Leoville莊園。Leoville莊園曾是梅多克 (Medoc)最古老的莊園之一，由當地旺族Moytie家族於17世紀始種下葡萄。但莊園要到Moytie與Leoville的公爵Blaise Anthine Alexandre de Gascq聯婚後，酒莊的知名度才與日俱增。早在那時，Leoville莊園已是相當知名的酒莊，其聲望緊緊追著如今的五大。
幾經流轉，酒莊後來被分購為三塊，成為如今的兩家二級酒莊，即分別佔原先地塊約1/4的Chateau Leoville Barton與Chateau Leoville-Poyferre酒莊，另外2/4的產地則一直留在家族中，成為如今由Delon家族所擁有並營運的Chateau Leoville Las Cases。但三者的葡萄園至今都還相連著。
Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases的葡萄園位於Saint-Julien內，和五大酒莊之一的Chateau Latour僅一村之隔。葡萄園達97公頃，擁有全村條件最好的葡萄園。Leoville-Las-Cases雖然以結實濃郁的酒體而聞名，這卻不是長時間浸皮而來的結果，而是濃郁僅緻的葡萄果實，經完美的釀酒技藝而展現。經過多年的歷練，如今的Leoville-Las-Cases能夠年年釀出品質穩定優越的酒款，不論好年或弱年。葡萄酒作家林裕森更於<<城堡裡的珍藏 – 波爾多葡萄酒>>中提到，Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases [是最像Pauillac的紅酒的Saint-Julien。或者，更明確的說是最像Chateau Latour的梅多克二級酒莊]
在Delon家族守護下，Las Cases幾乎都是穩定而值得信任。2002年的WS年終百大，1999年份的Las Cases就拿下第10名，前9名一支波爾多都沒有，其實力可見超然。2000 & 2005兩個年份還雙雙拿下WS:100完美的滿分，而世紀年份的1982也從葡萄酒天皇Parker手中拿下6次100分，可見其酒的陳年賓力。雖然這間酒莊早已不需要百大加持，但在許多級數酒莊紛紛折腰的1999份份，Las Cases仍以準一級酒莊之姿，為波爾多在酒壇留下它的足跡。
Las Cases一向色深豪邁，發展緩慢而有張力，它並不適合即飲，但耐心會讓飲者知其為何”超二趕一”。整支酒有著濃郁的深紫色，聞來豐富，入口強壯有力，集中飽滿的黑醋栗氣息後，轉而出現煙燻與煙草味，最後是美妙的木桶香草香，經典的波爾多酒，張力吸引，豐富細膩，不愧是稱為百獸之王的一頭猛獅。

A legendary wine in the making fromthe Delon Family is the 2015 Leoville Las Cases and there are very few winesmore impressive in the vintage.

Composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9%Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015Léoville Las Cases has a slightly closed nose, revealing notes of crème decassis, baked blueberries and black forest cake with touches of licorice,violets and Indian spices plus a waft of dusty soil. The palate is medium tofull-bodied, concentrated and built like a brick house, with firm, ripe,velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and spicy.

🏅WineSpectator 97pts
Filled with blackberry, black currant, figand boysenberry preserve flavors, this starts off showy, but a back end ofbrambly grip, warm tar, and pastis-soaked apple wood emerges slowly beforetaking an authoritative lead on the finish. All the while, a cool charcoal noteweaves in and around everything.
🏅Decanter97pts
The grand vin is heavily CabernetSauvignon dominant, as you would expect, with a touch of 80 year old Merlot andLéoville's wonderfully expressive Cabernet Franc. Aromas of cedar, cassis areslow to reveal their secrets. This is very closed right now, and the palate isinky with graphite and pencil lead notes, showing the power of the terroirhere. There is a creamy edge to the tannins which eventually emerges.
