Description

The 2008 Leoville Barton is deep pure purple with a slight edge of blue. Again (like Langoa) a well-rounded richness to the nose, ripe black fruit. Black mineral expression, and some very dry tannic structure, all with excellent depth of flavour. A real pleasure.

With a storied history tracing back to the 18th century, the estate has earned widespread acclaim for its exceptional red wines. Encompassing approximately 50 hectares, the vineyard benefits from gravelly and sandy soils, ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes.

Classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the estate continues to uphold its legacy of excellence under the ownership of the Barton family.

Reviews

Tobacco leaf, cigar wrapper, cedar and green pepper corns are the first thing you notice. Full bodied, quite crisp and sharp, this is concentrated, peppery and crisp. This will be much better with 5-8 more years in the cellar. 92 Points- Jeff Leve- Wine Cellar Insider
