Chateau Leoville Barton Saint-Julien 2022 PRE-ARRIVAL

Pre-arrival. Estimated to be available December 2024.

Château Léoville Barton, situated in Bordeaux's Saint-Julien appellation, is part of the historic Léoville estate, which dates back to the 18th century. In 1826, Hugh Barton, an Irish wine merchant, acquired a portion of the estate, establishing Château Léoville Barton. Unlike many Bordeaux estates, Léoville Barton has remained in the same family for nearly 200 years, preserving its traditions and reputation.

Classified as a Deuxième Cru (Second Growth) in 1855, Léoville Barton is renowned for its powerful, structured wines made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Vinified at the nearby Château Langoa Barton, it is respected for its consistency and longevity.

97 Points Wine Advocate 
One of the stars of the Médoc and a wine likely to equal or surpass its 2019 and 2016 counterparts, the 2022 Léoville Barton unwinds in the glass with deep aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, spices and tobacco leaf, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's vibrant, pure and seamless, with beautifully classy tannins and a long, penetrating finish. The 2022 is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.5% Merlot and 5.5% Cabernet Franc; and it's the first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, which more than doubled the number of vats, permitting sub-plot by sub-plot harvesting and vinification, along with a number of other technical improvements which translate into enhanced purity and precision.
