Château Léoville Barton 2022

Red wine | 2nd Cru Classé, Saint-Julien AC

This new property became Château Léoville Barton. The vineyard still belongs to the same family. 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.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    The 2022 Léoville Barton is performing brilliantly in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, pen ink, cigar box and spices. Medium to full-bodied, suave and velvety, it's dense and concentrated, with terrific energy and persistence. As readers will remember, it's the first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, which more than doubled the number of vats, permitting sub-plot by sub-plot harvesting and vinification, along with a number of other technical improvements that translate into enhanced purity and precision. Drinking window: 2027 - 2055. 97+/100. William Kelley. March 2025.

    Jean-Marc Quarin
    Couleur sombre, pourpre et noire. Nez intense, fin, fruité, subtil, profond et noble. Il devient complexe à l'agitation du verre. Nuances de fruits noirs, de vanille, de poire. Ultra fondant en entrée de bouche, très minutieux au développement, avec de la classe dans le toucher, le vin monte en finale, subtil et savoureux. Il s'achève très long, profond et complexe. Il a le fond et la minutie de la réalisation pour lui. Superbe ! Assemblage : 83 % cabernet sauvignon, 11,5 % merlot, 5,5 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 14°1. A consommer de préférence entre 2035 et 2065. Avril 2023.

    Léoville Barton affiche de la sérénité et de la profondeur. Il révèle quelque peu son élevage, mais celui-ci n’est pas dominant, il ne fait qu’accompagner les éléments présents et plébiscite l’ensemble olfactif. Élégantes nuances florales et fruitées avec des notes de pivoines, de baies noires et d’eucalyptus. En bouche, le vin convainc par sa finesse et par son aptitude à canaliser une puissance pourtant évidente, confortée par des tannins compacts, charnus, suaves et parfaitement intégrés, tandis que la fraîcheur se manifeste avec pertinence, malgré un contexte dense et puissant. Que d’harmonie, d’élégance. Une véritable force tranquille. 2028-2057. Décembre 2024.

    Decanter
    Richly concentrated on the nose with evocative aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate, clove and violets. Punchy and alive, this has both strength and elegance giving smooth, silky tannins with fleshy fruit and high acidity. It manages to marry quite a muscular frame with beautiful freshness and focus to give a round mouthfeel with plenty of flavour and kick. It's on the opulent side with concentrated blackcurrants and cherries but has a cooling, minty undercurrent too. I like this a lot. Not as openly friendly at this point as some but it's extremely well executed and has great ageing potential. Drinking window: 2030 - 2050. Georgina Hindle. January 2025.

    This is a beautifully textured wine, with its fruit and tannins in harmony. Its intensity is matched by its balance, giving a ripe, layered and elegant wine with a fine future. Roger Voss. February 2023.
