Chateau Langoa Barton - St. Julien 2018 (Pre-arrival) (1.5L)

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

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.

Ruby red in colour, with clove aromatics. Firm tannic structure, without having the 360-degree reach of the 2016s, but this is an enjoyable, well-balanced and well-judged St-Julien with power but careful extraction. Bright berry fruits, a little austere - at least right now - but plenty of potential. (Drink between 2026-2044)
