Château Léoville Barton 2021

A Grand Cru Classé of the Saint-Julien appellation, the reputation of this château has continued to grow, vintage after vintage, thanks to the quality of its wines.

    The sandalwood and grey-pepper aromas lead to a powerful wine with elegance and refinement. It has weight and beautiful concentration. It is impressive and sure to age well. Drink from 2028. Roger Voss. January 2024.

    Tout en étant encore marqué par son élevage, Léoville Barton 2021 ne manque pas d’afficher sa grandeur, sa profondeur, même dans le contexte de 2021. Ses tannins, aux grains fins, offrent une plateforme dédiée à la garde, tout en offrant une accessibilité qui permettra de mesurer ses aptitudes dès sa jeunesse et jusqu’à son apothéose… Et cela risque de prendre du temps, il faut donc juste en avoir suffisamment en cave 🙂 2027-2051. Novembre 2023.

    Belle couleur intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, au fruité pur. La bouche se présente tout en douceur tactile, avec beaucoup de goût, du fruit noir et une trame tannique raffinée. C'est juteux, délicieux et long. Ce millésime a été vinifié dans un nouveau cuvier qui deviendra gravitaire l'année prochaine. Assemblage : 84 % cabernet sauvignon, 11 % merlot, 3 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 13°12. Rendement : 39 hl/ha. A consommer de préférence entre 2028 et 2045. Avril 2022.

    The 2021 Léoville Barton has turned out beautifully in bottle, wafting from the glass with notes of cassis and plums mingled with subtle hints of pencil shavings, menthol and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, it's layered and refined, built around lively acids and a chassis of sweet, powdery tannin that will reward some bottle age with greater plenitude. It's a real success. Drinking window: 2027 - 2045. 94+/100. William Kelley. February 2024.

    Heady on the nose, perfumed and scented. The palate is alive and playful, delivering high acidity but also focused fruit so it's both lightly framed and fun, but also savoury and serious. Smooth and silky tannins give the gentle frame, letting the strawberry, creamy raspberry and red cherry fruit do the talking. It's unfussy, all the elements to the fore but all well balanced with a charming texture overall and persistence of high-toned red berry fruits with saline sides. Hints of green pepper, black pepper, slate and pencil lead on the finish. I like this a lot! Drinking window: 2026 - 2048. Georgina Hindle. April 2022.
