Wine Spectator Tasting Note

Take textbook St.-Julien warmed fig, blueberry compote and blackberry reduction notes along with ample graphite, bramble and tobacco flavors, then dial it up a notch. This has terrific energy to offset the admirable depth and length, and hasn't even started a second phase yet. One of the stars of the vintage. (JM)

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Léoville Barton, a prestigious Second Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Julien, embodies Bordeaux elegance and tradition. Its history is that of a family, the Bartons, of Irish origin, who took root in the Médoc in the 19th century. Today, Lilian Barton Sartorius and her daughter Mélanie continue to promote this exceptional estate, with François Bréhant overseeing the quality of the wines. The Léoville Barton style is distinguished by its classic structure, balance, and ability to span the decades. The wines offer a complex aromatic palette, where dark fruits mingle with notes of spice and cedar. La Réserve de Léoville Barton, the estate's second wine, offers a more accessible approach to the property's style while maintaining its signature. It is remarkable that the family has managed to preserve the integrity of this great growth over time, without ever fragmenting it. Château Léoville Barton produces ample, dense wines of great finesse—wines for aging par excellence—that fully express the Saint-Julien terroir. The estate works notably with appellations such as Deuxièmes Crus, which consistently extend its signature.
