2018 Château Léoville Barton, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

This is a lovely, heady wine and, while bearing the trademark muscle of the château, there is an almost seductive edge to the wine. Damien Barton-Sartorius advised that the tannins were rapidly and easily extractable this year, so the pump-overs were shortened accordingly. Like its sister wine, this is powerful, lush, but also energetic. Drink 2027-2045.

Saint-Julien

Saint-Julien

St Julien is the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ Médoc communes although, without any First Growths, it is recognised to be the most consistent of the main communes with many châteaux turning out impressive wines year after year. The wines can be judged as much by texture as flavour, and there is a sleek, wholesome character to the best. At their very finest they combine Margaux’s elegance and refinement with Pauillac’s power and substance.
