This “rich and opulent” reminded Wine Advocate’s Neal Martin “of a fine Margaux”. Wonderfully poised and with faultless balance Neal Martin advised Bordeaux fans to “cellar this for another decade.” Offering oodles of class this is one to squirrel away into the vault for a rainy day circa 2025 and beyond.
The much-loved Second Growth Saint-Julien Château Léoville Barton shines every year. But 2009 was something special. As ever this is all about sophistication it’s a sleek tall cravat-wearing gentleman with a monocle cane and shiny shoes. When Monsieur Barton enters the room everyone will take note and then gravitate towards him. And later he’ll enjoy some game some mature cheese and some fine conversation.
Always popular if you would like to secure this be quick as it won’t hang around for long. As respected wine critic Neal Martin notes: “Year-in year-out [Château Léoville Barton] produces delicious well-crafted high-quality Saint Julien that its legions of devoted fans – including myself – finish down to the very last drop.”
