Red fruit on the nose, with delicate hints of menthol. Fine and fresh. A change of scenery as soon as you enter the palate. The texture is very rich and consistent.

Viticulture

This is not the second wine of Léoville Barton, but the product of another vineyard located nearby, on the best gravel of St Julien, hence the 3rd growth classification. It was the Irishman Hugh Barton who bought it in 1821, after unsuccessfully trying to buy Château Lafite. A magnificent residence dating from the early 18th century, the château comprises 3 separate plots of gravelly clay.

Oenology

After passing through a sorting table and pneumatic presses, the juice is placed in temperature-controlled wooden vats where it undergoes a week's alcoholic fermentation with 2 pump-overs a day, followed by maceration for around 2 weeks. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in vats, with the pomace for the press wine being run off by hand. After 3 months in barrel, the wine is blended in stainless steel vats and then aged in barrel for a further 15 to 18 months.
