CHATEAU LÉOVILLE BARTON, 2021

SAINT-JULIEN

All wines of CHATEAU LÉOVILLE BARTON - All wines of Bordeaux - All wines
"The 2021 Léoville Barton has turned out beautifully in bottle, wafting from the glass with notes of cassis and plums mingled with subtle hints of pencil shavings, menthol and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, it's layered and refined, built around lively acids and a chassis of sweet, powdery tannin that will reward some bottle age with greater plenitude. It's a real success. Drink 2027-2045." - Wine Advocate

History and anecdotes
In the 19th century, the Leoville estate, in Saint-Julien appellation (Medoc), was one of the largest crus. It was divided in three estates afterwards: Château Léoville Las Cases, Château Léoville Barton, Château Léoville Poyferré. Hugh Barton from Ireland bought a part of the Léoville estate in 1826, which confirmed the Château Léoville Barton’s creation (still the Barton family’s estate). Its wines’ finesse led it to be classified as Second Grand Cru in the 1855 classification.
