FRR1529

1 item left

與不少波爾多葡萄酒生產商不同, Château Leoville Barton沒有酒莊,他們於姊妹酒莊Château Langoa Barton釀造葡萄酒。 Leoville Barton過去的規模更大,葡萄園的範圍包括今天的Leoville Las Cases 及 Leoville Poyferre,他們曾經是St. Julien區內最大的莊園。

Barton家族於波爾多的根可追溯至1722年,當年Thomas Barton離開愛爾蘭,移居到波爾多。像許多成功的莊主一樣,他最初是一名波爾多酒商。

品酒筆記:
(Robert Parker's rating: 95 points)
呈現深石榴紫紅色,散發出烤李子、黑加侖子酒、藍莓蜜餞的氣息,再加上鉛筆屑、泥土芬芳和雪松木的香氣。酒體中等至飽滿,帶有黑色水果蜜餞的味道、引人注目的草本香氣和顆粒狀單寧,餘韻悠長而活潑。

(James Suckling's rating: 95 points)
Cabernet Sauvignon的純淨與加侖子、黑莓和核果融為一體。非常芬芳。酒體中等至飽滿,單寧非常細膩,餘韻清新,果香濃郁,餘韻光滑細膩。所用的Cabernet Sauvignon,比例比過去高很多,適合在2023年後品嘗。


Unlike most Bordeaux wine producers, interestingly, Château Leoville Barton has no chateau. The wines are made at their sister property, Château Langoa Barton with which it shares ownership. Here’s a little bit of Bordeaux wine trivia for you, the chateau pictured on the label for Leoville Barton is actually their sister Saint Julien estate, Chateau Langoa Barton.
At one time, Leoville Barton was part of a much larger estate. The vineyards also included what we know of today as Château Leoville Las Cases and Château Leoville Poyferre as well! In fact, it was the largest property in St. Julien. The Barton family, the current owners of the estate trace their Bordeaux roots all the way back to 1722. That was the year that Thomas Barton left Ireland for Bordeaux. Like many successful owners, he started out as a Bordeaux negociant, or wine merchant.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 95 points)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Léoville Barton charges out of the gate with bold notions of baked plums, crème de cassis and blueberry preserves plus wafts of pencil shavings, fragrant earth and cedar chest. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruit preserves with compelling herbal sparks and a firm, grainy texture, finishing long and lively.

(James Suckling's rating: 95 points)
The purity of cabernet sauvignon really comes through here with currants, blackberries and stones. Perfumed, too. Medium to full body. Very fine, polished tannins and a fresh, fruity finish. This shows a compact palate with a polished, creamy finish. Much higher percentage of cabernet than is usual. Drink after 2023.
