Chateau Langoa Barton Description

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.

Decanter: 93 Points

A dark, brooding nose, full of bramble fruits and cherry chocolate drops. Tannins are to the fore; they coat the mouth giving a chewy, supple texture lifting the bright strawberry, bitter raspberry and juicy red cherry fruits and giving this an air of knitted tension - all delivered in one straight line. I like the focus, it doesn't waver from start to finish and is intense the whole way also with sweet cedar, clove and cinnamon edges to the finish which gives nuances and depth. Good effort. - Georgina Hindle

Wine Advocate: 93 Points

The 2021 Langoa Barton offers up attractive aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with sweet spices and cigar box. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's polished and fleshy, with an enveloping core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and well-integrated acids. - William Kelley
