Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2020 Château Langoa Barton comes from a mix of different sites in Saint-Julien, which makes it a great representation of the vintage and appellation. The blend is 53.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue to go with a beautiful bouquet of red and black cherries, currants, leafy tobacco, and cedar pencil, with a touch of damp earth that emerges with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, and elegant on the palate, it has plenty of mid-palate depth and richness, velvety tannins, and a great finish. This plush, up-front, expansive, wonderfully textured Saint-Julien will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and cruise for two decades. It's the finest example from this château I've tasted. Bravo!

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Langoa Barton, a prestigious Third Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien, is a family estate deeply rooted in the Bordeaux landscape. Its history began in the 19th century, when the Irish-born Barton family acquired this remarkable terroir. Legend has it that Hugh Barton, lacking facilities at Léoville at the time, vinified his wines at Langoa, thereby revealing the unique potential of this cru. Today, Lilian Barton Sartorius and her daughter Mélanie passionately perpetuate this family legacy, overseeing the quality and style of the wines of this Saint-Julien estate. Langoa Barton wines are distinguished by their elegance and charm, offering a complex bouquet of dark fruits and spices. These Bordeaux red wines, endowed with excellent aging potential, traverse the years with undeniable grace. The estate produces a renowned grand vin, as well as a second wine named Lady Langoa, allowing one to discover or rediscover the Langoa Barton style, a staple of the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate works notably with appellations such as Troisièmes Crus, which consistently extend its signature. Among the most sought-after vintages are Château Langoa-Barton and Château Langoa-Barton Lady Langoa, both useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the house.
