It's a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, harvested between September 4 and 18.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/95\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Kelley, Wine Advocate, April 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Léoville Barton was picked between 4 September and 18 September and matured in 60% new oak barrels. This has an exquisite bouquet already, with ebullient blackberry and bilberry scents, beautifully integrated oak, keeping the DNA of Léoville Barton despite the warm summer. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, gentle grip, very pure fruit and a \"cool\" and focused finish. With lower alcohol, between 13.0 and 13.5%, the terroir really shows through here. Superb. 2034 - 2055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/97\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeal Martin, vinous.com, May 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark ripe fruit and a touch of licorice on the nose.

Black chocolate and espresso coupled with finesse and fragrance that takes you into the heart of St Julien. A flood of flavour, what a brilliantly judged wine, powerful with air in all the right places. Just a breath below the brilliant 2023 for me. 2034-2044.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJane Anson, JaneAnson.com, April 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Léoville Barton is one of my early favorites of the vintage. It carries all the textural intensity and richness of a vintage with paltry yields. As such, it is not an especially classic Léoville Barton, but it is undeniably gorgeous. Black fruit, gravel, chocolate, new leather and licorice add to an impression of gravitas. As always, there's a healthy amount of press wine in the blend. Readers will have to be patient with the 2025, but there's a lot of potential. Tasted two times. 2035 - 2065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/96\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Galloni, vinous.com, April 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-block\"\u003eExcluding Excise Duty \u0026amp; Vat | Billable in 2028\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vat \u0026 Duty Payable in 2028","offers":[{"title":"3 Bottle Case","offer_id":57414162252107,"sku":"WOLEN12849S","price":215.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/leoville_cc6b86a4-d356-48a4-82b2-fb17a7f10e5f.jpg?v=1747121919","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/chateau-leoville-barton-saint-julien-2025-en-primeur-3-btl-case","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
