2023 Château Léoville Barton, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon; 10% Merlot; 3% Cabernet Franc.

There is real purity and freshness to this year’s Léoville Barton. Damien suggests that, stylistically, the wine retains its classical roots which make Bordeaux famous, and we certainly agree. The palate is vivacious with a marked minerality throughout. There is generous fruit here with bramble, blackberry, and a suggestion of pencil shavings that combine wonderfully. The tannins are seamless and lead an enduring finish on the palate. This is a wine of real power and elegance.

Drink 2030 - 2050

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.
