Château Langoa Barton is a Third Growth wine producer situated in the Saint-Julien appellation. The vineyard extends over an area of approximately 20 hectares, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This is the 2019 vintage of its Grand Vin, a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, aged in 60% new French oak. The wine is dominated by notes of blackberries, complemented by floral accents and a touch of mint.

Vinous
The 2019 Langoa-Barton has a much more classically-hewn bouquet with blackberry, gravel, freshly rolled tobacco and smoke billowing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe tannins. It doesn't quite have the depth of its peers, though it is very well balanced, but it closes up shop on the finish. Cellar this for another 8-10 years. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023
