History: Château Léoville Barton is a well-regarded estate in the Saint-Julien region of Bordeaux, ranked a second growth in the 1855 Classification. Quality has soared since the 1980s, and it is considered one of the most dependable wines in Bordeaux, gaining regular praise for its reasonable pricing. Léoville Barton is Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, tannic and austere when young but develops intense blackcurrant and cassis notes, as well as classic Saint-Julien cedar characteristics.

Tasting Notes: Intense purple color. The nose is complex revealing aromas of black fruits, currant and blackcurrant. On the palate, the wine is incredibly smooth and juicy while being subtly spicy. It reveals raspberry and plum notes with elegant acidity and fine tannins.
