The chateau is celebrating 200 years in 2021 with a special label.
The 2021 Langoa Barton offers up attractive aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with sweet spices and cigar box. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's polished and fleshy, with an enveloping core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and well-integrated acids. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
The 2021 Langoa Barton comes in a specially designed, one-off, hand-drawn label and a sustainable cardboard box instead of wood, to celebrate the bicentenary of family ownership. The aromatics have actually moved up a step since I tasted it from barrel: intense blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, crushed violet and just a hint of eucalyptus. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with surprisingly plush black fruit, a suave and harmonious Langoa with a dash of spice toward the finish. This is packed full of flavor and will be difficult to resist in its youth. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
Complex yet subtle aromas of currants, tar, lead pencil, redwood, violets and blackberries follow through to a medium body, with ultrafine tannins and a crunchy and vivid finish. Just a hint of chocolate at the end. Special label to commemorate the winery’s 200th anniversary. Sleek and refined, but give this three or four years to soften.- James Suckling
Released in a special bottle celebrating the château's 200-year anniversary, the 2021 Château Langoa Barton checks in as 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, with the élevage spanning 18 months in 60% new barrels. It offers a healthy purple/plum hue to go with impressive depth and richness in its darker currants, spicy oak, and cedar pencil/graphite-like aromatics. With medium-bodied richness, terrific mid-palate depth, and a broad, layered, mouth-filling texture, it deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will cruise over the following two decades in cold cellars. It's another terrific wine from this château. Tasted twice with consistent notes.-Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Langoa Barton is a pretty, supple wine that will drink well right out of the gate. Pliant tannins wrap around a core of red/purplish fruit, spice, rose petal, leather and cedar. Bright and perfumed, with lovely balance and fine, classic proportion, the 2021 is pure class. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Bright plum in colour, this is skilfully expressed, austere but present red cherry and blackberry fruits, strict tannic structure that opens through the mid palate to allow some juice and sandalwood smoke to run through the fruit. This has less of the exuberant depths that we have seen in Langoa in recent vintages, a little more old school overall, but will age, and has appellation signature. 60% new oak. Technical director François Brehant, consultant Eric Boissenot. The 2021 vintage features a special-edition label to mark 200 years of family ownership (the oldest of any 1855 estate). - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
2021 is the 200th anniversary of the purchase of Langoa by the Barton family, so there is a special label this year. It is a hand-colored drawing, by a family friend of the Bartons, and Anthony is in the picture, sitting on the step with his dog. Langoa Barton 2021 is a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc and is has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. Scents of black cherries, juicy raspberries, and fresh blackcurrants jump from the glass, leading to touches of graphite and wild sage. The medium-bodied palate delivers plenty of lively fruit in the mid-palate, with fine-grained tannins and a red berry lift on the finish.-Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent
Bright, crisp, red berries accompanied by cedar, mint and tobacco notes that show all over the place is what you find here. Medium-bodied, fresh, and forward, this is probably the earliest drinking Langoa I recall tasting. The bottle is adorned by a one-time-only special label that commemorates the families 200 years of ownership, which is an amazing and beautiful accomplishment that deserves recognition in todays, ever-changing world. Congratulations to the Barton family. The wine blends 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2048.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider
More restrained than some aromatically but there’s fruit and freshness with a structure in behind. Touch of cassis as it opens. Some oak as well but should integrate. Grippy tannins on the finish.-James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson
