About this wine
Château Langoa-Barton 3me Cru Classé, Saint-Julien
The meaning of the word terroir goes above and beyond its primary definition which is the soil. The concept of the terroir also encompasses the notion of climate, topology and geology.
The vine plots that make up the Château Langoa Barton terroir overlook the river. The mild temperatures incurring from this proximity imply early ripening, often a sign of good quality. This magnificent outcrop of quaternary gravel brings each vintage to perfect maturity, and the grapes are then rigorously selected before the vinification of Langoa Barton begins.The 20 hectares of Château Langoa Barton are planted in gravelly soils with a clay subsoil. The planting ratio is composed of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc, the traditional Médoc grape varieties. The vines are on average 37 years old.

William Kelley
The first vintage vinified in the Barton family's new winery, the 2021 Langoa Barton is immensely promising, offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and black truffle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate that's deep and complete, its vibrant core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and lively acids. It's a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times.

Deep crimson. Fresh dark cherry, blackcurrant wax polish aromas and flavours, plentiful fine velvety firm, slightly brambly tannins, some dark chocolate/ espresso notes. Finishes firm with an inky plume. Should build more richness with age. 61% cabernet sauvignon, 36% merlot, 3% cabernet franc. 18 months in around 60% new French oak. 13% alc

The 2021 Langoa Barton was picked 27 September until 7 October, matured in 60% new oak. Analysis shows 13.03% alcohol. It has a well-defined bouquet with expressive Merlot this year. Hints of blood orange/orange sorbet percolate through the red fruit. It has a skip in its step. The palate is medium-bodied with a taut and fresh entry. Plenty of sapidity here, oyster shell tinged with a well-defined and quite persistent finish. Lovely length, this is quite a gorgeous Saint-Julien that will age beautifully in bottle.
