86 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 14 % Merlot. Der Cabernet Franc, welcher mit einem Anteil von 3 % angepflanzt ist wurde vollständig deklassiert. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Royales Bouquet, viel blaubeerige Konturen, Cassis und Brombeeren, Edelhölzer und einen zarten Vanillehauch zeigend. Im Gaumen seidig elegant, hochfeine Tannine aufweisend und eine wunderschöne Balance. Alles ist an seinem Ort und von den Finessen her, kann er es (und das ist nicht das erste Mal der Fall) mit gewissen Premiers aufnehmen. Ein ganz grosser und ein besonders feiner Barton! Vier Mal verkostet. 19/20 2023 – 2048

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Leoville Barton offers up notions of warm red currants, black raspberries and dark chocolate with wafts of cigar box, violets and bay leaves. Elegant, medium-bodied and sporting great freshness, the taut, tightly wound palate of intense red fruits and floral accents is well-framed with firm, grainy tannins, finishing on a lingering mineral note.

The 2015 Léoville Barton has one of the richest bouquets in the appellation, boasting almost ostentatious blackberry, raspberry and bilberry scents on the nose, suffused with crushed limestone and light graphite aromas. The medium-bodied palate is taut and crisp, delivering a fine bead of acidity and freshness from beginning to end. Mainly black fruit here, with suggestions of leather and mocha toward the finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
Producer
Château Léoville Barton
Planted amongst the gravelly-clay soils, Château Léoville Barton is a long-established top producer in Saint-Julien. After the French Revolution the original Léoville property was split three estates, one being Léoville Barton, and the other two are fittingly Léoville Las Cases and Léoville Poyferré. Known today as one of Bordeaux’s great-value wines, the 2ème Grand Cru Classé property actually lacks its own château. Vinification therefore, with the same attention to detail takes place at the Barton’s family’s other Saint-Julien holding, Château Langoa Barton. From the early 1800s Léoville Barton has belonged to the Barton family, and Anthony Barton has managed the vineyards since 1986. The Grand Vin Léoville Barton is consistently intense and long-lived, a true Bordeaux meant for extended cellaring. The wine is a medium-full claret with well-thought oak, the fleshy, youthfully firm textures will develop harmoniously with several years’ patience.
