We are delighted to offer one of the most sought-after Saint Juliens in any vintage, the 2021 Château Leoville Barton. Leoville Barton is one of the best-known Médoc estates and has always had a particularly strong following. Our colleagues had the pleasure of tasting the 2021 in Bordeaux recently and it was absolutely stellar - a classic vintage with polished, ripe tannins and a formidable structure. It perfectly showcased he brilliance of their famous St. Julien terroir.

 

Also released today is a "brilliant wine that signposts this estate's evolution under Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, the 2021 Angélus.Apart from being James Bond’s red wine of choice, Château Angelus is unquestionably one of the best and most sought after wines in the world.

2021 Leoville Barton (Saint Julien)

93-95 WA / 93-95 VM / 94 JA / 94 DE / 90-92 WI

 

A terrific success, the 2021 Léoville Barton unwinds in the glass with aromas of blackcurrant, wild berries and plums mingled with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil and cigar wrapper. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, it's concentrated and tensile, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and all the class that an elevated percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon growing in deep gravel can provide. It's the first vintage vinified in the Barton family's new winery, and I suspect that contributes to the ultra-refined quality of tannin this year. The blend is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

2021 Angelus (Saint Emilion)

94-96+ WA / 94-96+ WI / 94-96 VM / 95 JA / 95 DE

 

A brilliant wine that signposts this estate's evolution under Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, the 2021 Angélus is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot, with fully half of the old-vine Cabernet Franc maturing in foudres rather than 225-liter barriques. The result is a wine of unprecedented purity and finesse, unwinding in the glass with compelling aromas of plums, raspberries, rose petals, vine smoke, blood orange and warm spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate with a rich and fleshy core that entirely conceals its structuring chassis of ultra-refined tannins. Bright and sapid, it's striking for its integration and elegance at this early stage, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it upstage a number of more touted vintages once it's in bottle. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
