CHATEAU LÉOVILLE BARTON, 1985
SAINT-JULIEN
" Le 1985 d'Anthony Barton pourrait bien s'avérer être une réédition du splendide millésime 1953 du château. D'un rubis/grenat profond, avec un bouquet complexe, complet et intense de fruits mûrs et sucrés aux arômes de cassis, de minéraux, de cèdre, d'épices et d'herbes cuites, ce vin de corps moyen présente un équilibre exceptionnel, une longueur fine, une abondance de fruits et des tanins doux en finale veloutée. " - Robert Parker

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.
