Château Léoville Barton is an exceptionally popular 2ème Grand Cru Classé property in Saint-Julien well-known for producing classically styled, Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines with a superb track record for ageing. Here is a chance to discover the earthy, blackcurrant character of the 1988 vintage.
- It has been several years since I last encountered the 1988 Léoville Barton. It is just a tad smudged on the nose compared to the 1988 Lynch Bages. Pencil box aromas mix with black fruit and a liberal sprinkling of black pepper. The palate has evolved in the interim period, grainier in texture than I recall and spicy, but allow 15 to 20 minutes in the glass, and it manifests real elegance and grace on the finish. Just a lovely, mature Saint-Julien from the late Anthony Barton. Tasted at the 1988 Bordeaux dinner at Noble Rot Mayfair.

Chateau Leoville Barton

Chateau Leoville Barton

Hailing from the appellation of Saint Julien in Bordeaux, Château Leoville Barton has been family-run since 1826 with the famous Anthony Barton raising the estate to ever greater heights in the second half of the 20th century and his daughter Lilian taking the reins in recent years.

A superb quality Second Growth, Château Leoville Barton is renowned for producing old-school wines that are intensely structured and often require extended cellaring before entering their prime drinking window. The estate also produces an excellent quality second wine, La Réserve de Barton, a red wine produced from young vines. Vineyard holdings cover 51 hectares - planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.
