Elaboration

Red wine from A.O.C Saint Julien, 2nd Classified Growth in 1855. It is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. The grapes were hand-picked from the 2nd October to the 14th October 2013. The vinification took place in a wooden vats room with a thermo-regulation system. Alcoholic fermentation lasted 7 to 10 days with twice daily pumping over. Maceration took about 3 weeks. Finally, the wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.

Taster´s notes

Deep red colour. On the nose, it presents aromas of oak, forest and cassis, and black cherries. On the palate, it is firm, and compact, with chalky tannins. It is a light but elegant Grand Cru Classe, very well formed. We recommend pairing the wine with red meats, lamb, duck, game, chicken, and rare, grilled beef. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC

Customer Reviews

The Winery

Château Léoville Barton 2013, second Grand CRU Classé in 1855, comes from one of the five exclusive crus in the Saint-Julien appellation. Anthony Barton, the owner, is the sixth generation of a family of Irish descent that has been intermittently linked to Bordeaux since 1722. They currently own 47 hectares of vineyards located very close to the Gironde estuary. The terroir is typical of the region with gravel and clay soils on which they grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
