Château Léoville Barton is an outstanding Saint-Julien and one of the most consistent and elegant wines of the Médoc. Made from 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet franc, this is wonderfully firm, concentrated wine that walks a fine, balanced line between richness and poised structure. It is classic in the best sense, showing all the shape of a fine Bordeaux, while adding the extra dimension of the freshest of black fruits, complexity from a few hints of wood, and a dark, brooding, long-lasting aftertaste.
