    Robert Parker Writes
    Tastings in the late eighties and nineties revealed a terrific, fully mature wine, splendidly perfumed with cedar, herbs, and sweet black fruits, rich, full-bodied, and long. Based on the best bottles, this wine is fully mature, but is capable of lasting for another decade. Anticipated maturity: now-2000. Last tasted 9/97.

    Château Léoville Barton is a renowned wine estate situated in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, France. With a storied history tracing back to the 18th century, the estate has earned widespread acclaim for its exceptional red wines. Encompassing approximately 50 hectares, the vineyard benefits from gravelly and sandy soils, ideal for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes. Château Léoville Barton's wines are revered for their elegance, complexity, and aging potential, showcasing ripe fruit flavors, refined tannins, and a distinct Saint-Julien character. Classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the estate continues to uphold its legacy of excellence under the ownership of the Barton family. With a commitment to tradition and innovation, Château Léoville Barton remains a benchmark for quality in Bordeaux winemaking, producing wines that captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
