"This is so vivid as it brims with pastis-soaked plum, blackberry, black currant and blueberry paste flavors, all carried by a perfectly integrated brambly spine. Tar and ganache notes give the finish an extra kick while everything stays within the mouthwatering roasted apple wood frame. Both regal and rambunctious, this is St.-Julien to a T. 11,667 cases made."
-James Molesworth,Wine Spectator
Intense ruby colour, the nose reveals vivid notes of black fruits (black cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry) with a touch of ink. The mouth is ample, powerful and you feel the freshness of the red fruits. The tannins are delicate with a long finish.
The Barton family represents one of the most enduring legacies in Bordeaux, tracing their history back to 1725 when Irish native Thomas Barton established a merchant firm in the region. It was his grandson, Hugh, who transitioned the family into land ownership, though his path was nearly derailed by the French Revolution, which saw him imprisoned and his property confiscated. Following his release, Hugh directed the family business from England, eventually acquiring Château Langoa in 1821 and a portion of the Léoville estate in 1826, the latter of which became Léoville Barton. This estate achieved Second Growth status in the 1855 Classification, and the Bartons maintain the rare distinction of being one of just three families to have held continuous ownership of their property since that historic ranking was established.
