Château Langoa Barton is a renowned property located in the Saint-Julien appellation, which was classified as a Third Growth in the prestigious 1855 Classification of the Médoc. Langoa Barton has been owned by the Barton family since 1821, and they are also the owners of the neighbouring Château Léoville Barton. The 2020 vintage is a blend of 53.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 8.5% Cabernet Franc, delivering notes of black cherries, crème de cassis, liquorice and pencil shavings. The wine has excellent aging potential and will continue to develop in the bottle for many years.

The 2020 Langoa Barton has a wonderful, precise, mineral-driven bouquet with subtle marine scents (oyster shell and Crustacea) that emerge with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. Stylistically, it's not unlike the Léoville Barton, though this has more control and tension toward the persuasive finish. Glorious—one of the finest releases in recent years and better than the showing just after bottling. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.Neal Martin12th November 2024

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Langoa Barton comes bounding out of the glass with eager-to-please notes of kirsch, juicy blueberries, and cassis, plus wafts of fallen leaves, underbrush, and allspice. The medium-bodied palate is plush and juicy, with open-knit black fruits and plenty of freshness, finishing with a spicy kick. It's fabulously delicious right now, but give it another couple of years to fully integrate and then drink it over the next 20 years+.Lisa Perrotti-Brown29th June 2023
