Matured in French oak barrels (50% new) for 18 months. The wines can be austere in their youth with firm tannins but with soften with time revealing intense and pure blackcurrant fruit alongside notes of tobacco and cedar. This is a classic age-worthy Bordeaux that will be at its best after 10 years.
Producer description:
Once part of the great Leoville estate which was divided in three (Leoville Barton, Leoville Poyferre and Leoville las Cases), Leoville Barton is the smallest portion. The 48 hectares of vineyards have been owned by the Barton family since 1826. Now run by eight and ninth generation Lilian and Damien Barton, the quality of the wine has soared and this 2ème Cru Classé is becoming one of the most exciting Saint Julien.

Stands out for the elongated and supple shape and texture of the tannins, builds complexity over the palate and this is well structured, with elegant, finessed, savoury but carefully extracted cassis and bilberry fruits, with cocoa bean and cigar. One of the wines in the vintage with definition and ageing ability, and retains clear Léoville Barton character. Harvest 24 September to 5 October. 60% new oak for ageing

The 2024 Léoville Barton is a very beautiful wine. Black cherry, plum, lavender, new leather, graphite, crushed rocks, mocha and spice all meld together. A wine of classical build, Léoville Barton is also wonderfully deep and expressive. Today, all of its energy is directed inwards, but there is a lot of wine here. I can't wait to taste this from bottle. Tasted two times
Robert Parker | 93
A serious wine that will delight patient purists, but which also showcases the new levels of purity and precision that this estate has been attaining since completion of the new winery, the 2024 Léoville Barton is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Unwinding in the glass with notes of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, with a taut but nicely integrated profile, concluding with a pure, penetrating finish.
