Léoville Barton flies over the 2023 vintage, rated 96/100 by Olivier Poussier!
Tasted three times by our Committee, it's the same emotion that prevails each time: what density, what depth, and above all, what class! The freshness of the Cabernets (87%) is enhanced tenfold by this temperate vintage profile. Straightforward, racy, powerful, sappy, velvety, so Médoc-like, this is the soul of a great Saint Julien, the very essence of Bordeaux!
The strength of this vintage lies undoubtedly in its balance between distinction and depth, with sumptuous tannins, rich, full body and absolute rigor, supported by admirable freshness, deep menthol and the graphite of the Cabernets that create superb depth of field. The Parker team says no different, comparing it to the supreme 2016...
The new winery and the progress made in vinification in small vats to match the vineyard's plot-based approach mark the start of a new era: Château Léoville Barton is well and truly one of the stars of the Médoc!
Léoville Barton is one of the Médoc's finest wines, and we want you to know it!
