Langoa Barton
Thomas Barton left Ireland to start a Bordeaux negociant firm in 1722. His family purchased this Saint Julien estate in 1821 and it has stayed in the same family since. They use traditional winemaking techniques but their cooler terroir, closer to the centre of Saint Julien gives them a rich vibrant style.

Vinous - Neal Martin (95)The 2010 Langoa-Barton has a very pure and quite intense bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and star anis aromas that are typically Langoa. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, impressive body and grip with a liquorice-tinged, saline finish that maybe just lacks a little flesh and needs more on the aftertaste. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting. |

Jancis Robinson (17.5)Tasted blind. Berries and rather simple, brutal fruit. Very youthful indeed. Not a charmer! But it’s back-end loaded so it may well shine eventually. Absolutely not communicating at the moment… Lots of weight and concentration. One of the most backward wines we have tasted so far. Massive in every way. |

Jeb Dunnuck (94-96)Loads of red and black currants, lead pencil shavings, tobacco, and dried flower notes emerge from the 2020 Château Langoa Barton, a gorgeous looking 2020 offering medium to full-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It has the concentrated, backward vibe of the vintage yet brings remarkable opulence and texture. It's impressive. |
