CHATEAU LÉOVILLE BARTON, 2021
SAINT-JULIEN
" Une formidable réussite, le Léoville Barton 2021 se déroule dans le verre avec des arômes de cassis, de baies sauvages et de prunes mêlés à des notes de copeaux de crayon, de terre glaise et de papier à cigare. Mi-corsé à corsé, profond et homogène, il est concentré et tendu, avec des tanins magnifiquement raffinés, une acidité vive et toute la classe qu'un pourcentage élevé de cabernet sauvignon cultivé dans des graves profondes peut apporter. C'est le premier millésime vinifié dans la nouvelle cave de la famille Barton, et je soupçonne que cela contribue à la qualité ultra-raffinée des tanins cette année. "

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.
