Structured, Cabernet Sauvignon dominated wines are produced here that are serious, controlled and pure. The 50 hectare vineyard is planted 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Always the epitome of Saint Julien and the ultimate \"Englishman's Claret\". The Barton family traditions continue with Anthony's daughter Lilian and her son Damien in charge of the estate. The 2023 vintage was the 2nd to be made in the new winery. Production is from a yield of 50 hl\/ha and it is being aged in medium toast barrels - 60% new. It is made up of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tasting_note rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex justify-content-between\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notranslate\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notranslate wine-score\"\u003e98\/100 Points - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notranslate\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notranslate wine-score\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This was one of the real standouts En Primeur for me, and I am so so happy to see it delivering now it is in bottle.

Flecks of wood spice show here and there, but this is all about refreshing, powerful black fruit. This follows on the palate, which has superb density and focus for the vintage. The tannins are bold and medocain, giving something to chew on and contemplate as the black fruit builds to the finish. The wood spice is deftly judged and integrating nicely. This is a vin de garde, and has a real sense of place. A superb Léoville Barton that is up with the very best Saint Juliens this year.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tasting_note rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex justify-content-between\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notranslate\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notranslate\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notranslate wine-score\"\u003e96\/100 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 2023 Léoville Barton is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, burning embers and a discreet touch of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and layered, it's deep, dense and classically structured, with ripe tannins, excellent purity of fruit and a penetrating finish. It's a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc that weighs in at 13% alcohol.

It features fragrant scents of violets, fertile loam, and rose oil leading to a core of redcurrant jelly, cassis, and licorice with a touch of cardamom. The medium-bodied palate is tense and tightly wound at this youthful stage, like a taut spring ready to pop. Firm, fine-grained tannins and a racy backbone adeptly support the vibrant fruit, finishing long and perfumed. The blend is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, aged in barriques, 60% new.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chateau Leoville Barton","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":58445551436107,"sku":"WOLRE13368S","price":590.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":58445551468875,"sku":"WOLRE13369S","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":58445551501643,"sku":"WOLRE13370S","price":100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Leoville_Barton_Wood.jpg?v=1772012517","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/chateau-leoville-barton-cru-classe-2023","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
