Indeed, he is an Irish country gentleman transplanted to St Julien in the Médoc, where for over 20 years he has owned and run Châteaux Léoville-Barton and its neighbour Langoa-Barton. Barton has never had time for the greed that characterises so much of the Bordeaux scene, so his wines have always offered exceptional value. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLéoville Barton's smaller sister château has been producing increasingly excellent wines in recent vintages. Grape varieties, viticulture and vinification are similar to those of Léoville. Quality is often very similar too. Classic St Julien is produced here with real Cabernet Sauvignon \"grip\" and class. There are currently 20 hectares in production, with an average vine age of 37 years. Langoa is a fantastic source of \"proper claret\" at sensible en primeur prices. a new gravity fed winery was completed in 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 is the 2nd vintage to be made in the new cellars and is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc. 13% alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94-95\/100 Points -James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There’s depth of fruit here with blackberries, blackcurrants and hints of cedar and tobacco.

The palate is direct, too. Built around a focused core of black fruit, the tannins build gently at first but are mouthcoating and persistent, though ripe. A wine with a real sense of place, structured with enough meat on its bones, this is another success for Langoa.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe 2023 Langoa Barton offers a refreshing nose of dainty red-berry fruit and floral notes. On the palate, the wine is much rounder with rich fruit and lovely density. The tannins are velvety and mouth-coating, complemented by the generous dark fruit, building to a vibrant and sophisticated finish. This should be approachable before its sibling (Ch. Léoville Barton), but will age equally beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Langoa Barton","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":58574212792651,"sku":"WOLRE13487S","price":420.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":58574212825419,"sku":"WOLRE13488S","price":840.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":58574212858187,"sku":"WOLRE13489S","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Langoa_Barton_Wood.jpg?v=1790155816","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/chateau-langoa-barton-saint-julien-2023","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
