Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2016 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Under Anthony Barton's sober, honest and passionate management, this cru has joined the Médoc's supreme elite, without driving up its selling prices too much. The wine's current quality can be explained by the age and location of the vines, which combine quantity and quality, and by the desire to preserve and optimize the most classic Médoc style. The mystery of its character remains, for this cru de grande garde is born ready-made, with an almost creamy consistency that makes it immediately noticeable and loved. The new generation of the family has little to change...
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine rated (guide 2016) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Although Irishman Thomas Barton set up his trading business in Chartrons in 1725, it wasn't until 1821 that his grandson Hugh acquired Château Langoa, and then in 1826 part of the former Léoville estate, which was created in the early 17th century and split into several parts during the French Revolution. Since then, the estate has remained in the Barton family (Lilian Barton-Sartorius since 2006), which extends its 51 ha of vines south of the village of Saint-Julien. No home or winery here, vinification and ageing take place at Langoa.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2016 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Since 1985, under the guidance of Anthony Barton and his daughter Lilian, the cru has gone from strength to strength. Success has become triumph, as Léoville Barton has consistently risen to the highest level of Bordeaux's grands crus since 1998. Apart from an obvious taste for work well done, the secret of this success lies in the high age of this ancient vineyard, which allows for ripe, concentrated grapes. Fleshier and fruitier en primeur than Léoville Las Cases or Léoville Poyferré, Baron enchants with its fatness, its supreme balance, which it owes to its terroir, and a profound naturalness of expression. More open in its prime, the wine often goes through a phase of austerity, then gradually takes on its definitive form, displaying one of the Médoc's most complex and elegant bouquets as it ages. What's more, given its quality and consistency, prices are always very affordable.
