The winery is located in the commune of Saint-Julien in the area of the same name in the Médoc (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). The name "Grand Vin de Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases" appears on the label, but there is no mention of a château. The last part of the name is derived from Marquis de Las Cases Beauvoir, the owner of Château Léoville. The estate remained in the possession of this family until 1840, when it was divided into three parts. In addition to the estate in question, Château Léoville-Barton and Château Léoville-Poyferré were created. The Delon family (descendants of the Léoville family), which also owns Château Potensac, subsequently took possession of the estate. The progenitor was Théophile Skawinski, who managed the estate until 1930. Between 1976 and 1996, Michel Delon gave the estate its current character and handed over the reins to his son Jean-Hubert. In the 1855 Bordeaux classification, the estate was awarded second place (Deuxième Grand Cru Classé).
