Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Released in a special bottle celebrating the château's 200-year anniversary, the 2021 Château Langoa Barton checks in as 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, with the élevage spanning 18 months in 60% new barrels. It offers a healthy purple/plum hue to go with impressive depth and richness in its darker currants, spicy oak, and cedar pencil/graphite-like aromatics. With medium-bodied richness, terrific mid-palate depth, and a broad, layered, mouth-filling texture, it deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will cruise over the following two decades in cold cellars. It's another terrific wine from this château. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

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.
