Punteggi dei critici
97 Robert Parker
A brilliant young wine, the 2016 Léoville Barton unwinds in the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berries and cigar box mingled with subtle hints of loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's seamless and exquisitely balanced, with beautifully refined tannins, bright acids and a long, penetrating finish. Its structural refinement is such that it's far from forbidding to open right now, yet patience will be richly rewarded.
97 Wine Spectator
This is so vivid as it brims with pastis-soaked plum, blackberry, black currant and blueberry paste flavors, all carried by a perfectly integrated brambly spine. Tar and ganache notes give the finish an extra kick while everything stays within the mouthwatering roasted apple wood frame. Both regal and rambunctious, this is St.-Julien to a T. Best from 2025 through 2040.—James Molesworth

Terrific intensity of dark berries, almost peppery blackcurrants and violets with attractive and integrated, spicy oak and an earthy edge. The palate has a super powerful and long, linear core with plenty of fruit flesh strapped in tight for a long and thrilling ride into the finish. A blend of 86 per cent cabernet and 14 per cent merlot. Try from 2024.
Produttore
Château Léoville Barton
Situato su terreni ghiaioso-argillosi, Château Léoville Barton è un produttore importante di lunga data di Saint-Julien. Dopo la Rivoluzione Francese, la proprietà originaria di Léoville fu suddivisa in tre tenute: Léoville Barton, Léoville Las Cases e Léoville Poyferré. Conosciuto oggi come uno dei vini di grande valore di Bordeaux, la proprietà 2ème Grand Cru Classé non ha in realtà uno Château proprio. Perciò la vinificazione, con la stessa attenzione ai dettagli, si svolge presso l'altra azienda di Saint-Julien della famiglia Barton, Château Langoa Barton. Dai primi anni dell'Ottocento Léoville Barton è di proprietà della famiglia Barton e Anthony Barton gestisce i vigneti dal 1986. Il Grand Vin, Léoville Barton, è intenso e longevo, un vero Bordeaux destinato a una lunga conservazione in cantina. Il vino è un claret di corpo medio-pieno con sentori di legno ben integrati, la struttura carnosa e la potenza giovanile si svilupperanno armoniosamente con qualche anno di pazienza.
