    • Description

    The 2009 Château Langoa Barton is an exceptional wine from an outstanding vintage in Bordeaux. 2009 is considered one of the great Bordeaux vintages due to the warm and dry growing season, which allowed the grapes to ripen fully and resulted in wines of both power and elegance. Langoa Barton, classified as a Third Growth (Troisième Cru) in the 1855 classification, is known for producing structured and long-lived wines, and the 2009 vintage is one of its best.

    Tasting Notes: The typical blend includes a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon (about 60-70%), with Merlot making up around 20-30%, and a small amount of Cabernet Franc.
    Aroma: Rich and aromatic, with intense notes of ripe black fruits such as blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, layered with hints of cedar, leather, tobacco, and baking spices (vanilla, clove). Subtle floral notes and a touch of graphite also emerge. Palate: Full-bodied and opulent, with a velvety texture and ripe, integrated tannins. The wine shows a perfect balance between concentrated fruit (blackcurrants, black cherries), earthy notes (cedar, underbrush), and well-judged oak influence (vanilla, mocha). The warmth of the vintage lends richness and a slightly plush character, but the wine still maintains good freshness and structure. Long and persistent finish, with lingering dark fruit, spice, and a savory, mineral-driven notes
    .

    Aging Potential: The 2009 Langoa Barton has superb aging potential. While it’s drinking beautifully now, this wine can age gracefully for 20–30 years due to its concentration, structure, and balance.: It’s enjoyable now (2024 onward) but will continue to develop complex tertiary characteristics, such as leather, tobacco, and earthy nuances, over the next decade or more. It can be cellared until at least 2035, potentially longer.

    Food Pairing: This wine pairs wonderfully with rich, hearty dishes. Ideal pairings include roasted lamb, beef Wellington, venison, or even a well-marbled ribeye steak. It also complements earthy flavors, like truffle risotto, mushrooms, and aged hard cheeses.

    The 2009 Château Langoa Barton is a wine with incredible depth, richness, and elegance, offering a classic example of a well-made Saint-Julien from an outstanding vintage. If you’re enjoying it now, consider decanting it for a couple of hours to allow it to fully open up and express its complexity.
