This Château is always one of the best selling wines, due to its consistent high quality and the long standing commitment by the Barton family to maintain a sensible pricing policy. The vineyards are intensely planted with 9,100 vines per ha. Aged for 18 months in 60% new oak, this is a balanced and impressive claret, very much in the Leoville style.
Leoville Barton was one of our favourite wines this vintage. A real star performer. The Cabernet Sauvignon makes up 93% of the blend producing a big and powerful wine aged in 60% new oak. Muscular and intense with highly concentrated cassis fruit, super suave tannins and underlying cedar. A very sophisticated wine, this is classic claret at its best.
