Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Dark currants, tobacco, graphite, and an undeniable sense of minerality all define the 2021 Château Léoville Barton, a medium-bodied, concentrated Saint-Julien that has good mid-palate depth, ripe yet polished, integrated tannins, and outstanding length. It's a ripe, textured, impressive 2021 that stays in the fresher, classic style of the vintage. Based on 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged 18 months in 60% new oak, it will be an early-drinking Barton by this cuvée’s standards, yet it’s still going to have well over two decades of prime drinking.

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.
