Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Léoville-Barton has a surprisingly rich and opulent bouquet at first, although it calms down with aeration, offering crushed violet and black cherry scents, reminiscent of a fine Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth. Here the class begins to appear with fine balance and poise, but like the Langoa, it lacquers the mouth with tannins and feels very backward, surprising given the vintage. Cellar this for another decade, folks. Tasted January 2016.”
Located in the heart of the Saint-Julien terroir, Château Léoville Barton has overlooked its natural surroundings since it was built in 1758. Its French-style gardens and typically English parks inspire serenity and tranquillity. It was after the French Revolution that Hugh Barton, an Irish négociant in Bordeaux wines, bought his first vines in the Médoc. Château Léoville Barton has the immense privilege of owning one of the finest ridges of Garonne gravel, to which it owes its fabulous wines. Drawing on its know-how, Château Léoville Barton has opted for an ecological approach with no weeding or herbicides.
