“The first vintage vinified in the Barton family’s new winery, the 2021 Langoa Barton is immensely promising, offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and black truffle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate that’s deep and complete, its vibrant core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and lively acids. It’s a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times.”

Château Langoa Barton was bought by Hugh Barton, an Irish, in 1821, more than 30 years before the classification of 1855 and Hugh was not to know that Langoa would be classified as a 3rd growth.
It was surely the architecture and the beautiful façade built in 1758 that attracted him. Since then the property has remained in the family and today, Anthony Barton’s daughter, Lilian Barton Sartorius manages the properties and the wine merchant company. Her two children Mélanie and Damien, both involved in the family history represent the 10th generation. The vineyards are situated at the south of the appellation Saint Julien and the style of the wine is described as typical
Saint Julien. This means a wine of great elegance, charming and finesse with subtle flavors.
Langoa-Barton is in the Medoc on the Left Bank of Bordeaux.
