Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The flagship from this great château, the 2020 Château Léoville Barton checks in as 85.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14.5% Merlot that saw 60% new French oak. It has fabulous aromatics of crème de cassis, graphite, liquid violets, spring flowers, and background oak. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, its purity of fruit is just about off the chart, it has a great mid-palate, and enough tannins to warrant 7-8 years of bottle age. This is another sensational wine from this team that will have 30-40 years of overall longevity.

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.
