Château Léoville-Barton, 2e CC St-Julien - 2021

Provenance: Bordeaux
Appellation: Saint-Julien
Domain: Léoville-Barton
Grape variety(ies): Cabernet sauvignon 72%, merlot 20%, cabernet franc 8% et petit-verdot
On-call time: 25 years
Note: 96/100 | Classement: 2e Cru Classé

A great nose of blueberries, typical of the vintage, but one that has not been so intense and precise for a long time. The attack is as melting as it is vinous, with great body, a very full-bodied wine, opening out into a pulpy, ripe and spicy development, great length on the palate and a very fine quality of texture. This is by far one of the best St-Julien wines of the vintage.

Technique

Viticulture

Situated in the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation, the château has been in the same family since 1826. The estate is now presided over by Lilian Barton-Sartorius alongside her father, Anthony Barton. The terroir, consisting mainly of a combination of a thick layer of quaternary gravel and subsoil clay, is ideal for the Médoc grape varieties.

Oenology

Vinification takes place at Château de Langoa Barton. Fermentation in wooden vats with temperature control, pumping over and maceration for 2 weeks. The wine spends 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, 60% of which are new.
