Description

The 2007 Léoville Barton from Saint-Julien is a vintage from a cooler year in Bordeaux. While 2007 was not considered an exceptional year for Bordeaux, Léoville Barton still managed to produce a solid wine, thanks to its skilled winemaking and vineyard management.

The 2007 Léoville Barton is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (typically around 70-80%), with Merlot and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. Notes of red and black fruits (blackcurrant, cherry), with earthy undertones, cedar, tobacco, and hints of spice and herbs. Palate: Medium-bodied, with relatively soft tannins compared to stronger vintages. It has good acidity, which gives it a fresh, lively feel. The fruit is more restrained, showing subtle notes of berries, with a savory, earthy character and hints of leather and cigar box developing over time. Finish: Medium-length, with a clean, slightly drying finish.

Aging Potential: The 2007 vintage is typically considered earlier-drinking than more powerful vintages like 2005 or 2009. While Léoville Barton has excellent aging potential in top years, this vintage is more approachable in its youth and might not benefit from extremely long aging. It is still drinking well, though it's likely nearing the end of its peak window.

Food Pairing:Ideal with roasted meats (beef, lamb), game, or rich stews. The wine’s earthy, savory character also pairs well with mushrooms and truffle-based dishes.

Reviews: "Tasted at the chateau, this is a perfectly respectable 2007 from Anthony Barton. Very fine definition on the light nose, hints of blackberry and cedar, just a hint of black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied, a much more feminine Leoville-Barton destined for early- to medium-term drinking. Harmonious and unpretentious, crisp red-berried fruit, wild strawberry and tart cherry on the finish. A little short perhaps, but highly pleasurable. Drink 2011-2017. Tasted September 2009." Neil Martin, Wine Journal. 2010
