Stunning and Drinkable Standouts from Saint-Julien

 

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW in the latest post on the Wine Independent has raved about the history of great wine from Leoville Barton. “Drinkability—an essential yet less discussed factor in our vinous decisions—is a great way to sum up the style of Léoville Barton. We talk a lot about richness, power, and scores, yet continually reach for the bottles that best quench our thirsts.”

 

“We are looking for drinkability,” says Damien Barton. “In the past, people were hunting for big points but forgetting that you’re supposed to be drinking these wines. At dinner, we want to be the first bottle that’s empty, not the wow wine.”

 

Damien’s mother, Lilian Barton Sartorius, the 9th Generation of Bartons in charge of Léoville Barton, agrees. “The first thing we want is balance. Equilibrium. There was a famous stage when people wanted to leave their fruit on the vine longer."

 

"A journalist once said to my father (Anthony Barton), ‘Your neighbors want to know why you’re picking so early.’ He said, ‘You should ask them why they are picking so late.’"

 

We have a large selection of both 2019 and 2020 in different sizes, both in stock and as pre-arrivals, as well as 2018 and 2021, and 2022 futures.

The 2019 Leoville Barton is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a fair bit of swirling to coax out wonderfully pure notes of blackcurrant jelly, wild blueberries, and boysenberries, followed by hints of tar, lavender, crushed rocks, and fragrant soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is an exercise in elegance, with very fine-grained, silt-like tannins and beautiful tension framing the highly nuanced black fruits, finishing very long and fantastically layered.--Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

The 2020 Leoville Barton has a deep garnet-purple color. It is incredibly primary and youthful with expressive scents of crème de cassis, ripe juicy plums, and black raspberries, opening out to hints of vanilla pod, coffee, star anise, and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is beautifully restrained, with lovely tension and firm, very fine-grained tannins, finishing so long and achingly graceful. Wow!--Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent
