2024 Leoville Barton

Auslieferung bis zum Herbst 2027!
Delivery until Fall 2027!

Stands out for the elongated and supple shape and texture of the tannins, builds complexity over the palate and this is well structured, with elegant, finessed, savoury but carefully extracted cassis and bilberry fruits, with cocoa bean and cigar. One of the wines in the vintage with definition and ageing ability, and retains clear Léoville Barton character. Harvest 24 September to 5 October. 60% new oak for ageing.

(St Julien; 92% Cabernet Sauvignon; 6% Merlot; 2% Cabernet Franc; 13% alcohol; tasted twice, first at the UGC press tasting at the Cité du Vin). This has a most gracious purple florality that I love, a hint of rose petal too and all of that signature Léoville Barton dark berry and damson fruit. Very classical and very refined, with oodles of cedar. There’s a lot of wine here in a vintage in which that is not something one says very often. Classicists will be very happy with this in a vintage that is perhaps easier for néophytes!

Deep garnet-purple colored. After a little shaking, notes of fresh red cherries, mulberries, and stewed red plums hop from the glass, leading to hints of fallen leaves, graphite, and rose bud tea. Light-bodied, the palate is refreshing and pure, delivering soft, approachable tannins and bright red berry flavors, finishing on a perfumed floral note.
