Specification

Producer

Château Leoville Barton

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.

Tasting Notes

This hard work has clearly paid off with a stunning wine that is notably one of the finest wines of the vintage. Aromas of blackberry and plum dominate a fragrant bouquet that suggests both power and purity. The palate is tight, fresh and compact, offering both depth and elegance. There is an impressive black fruit content with notes of pencil lead, forest floor and touch of graphite minerality. Will be aged in 60% new oak barrels. Extremely well balanced, this is a classic Léoville-Barton.

Vinification

Harvested between 24th September – 5th October with a yield of 30hl/ha and aged in 60% new oak for 18 months. To be bottled in June 2026. 12.9% vol. Lilian commented that “2024 was an expensive year to make wine….. with a lot of weekend working. Mildew doesn’t wait for Monday!”
