Food Paring
Hot Foie Gras with Balsamic Vinegar, Roasted Veal Kidneys with Chanterelles
Tasting Tips
Dense, youthful, impressive colour - as with so many of the 2000s. Toasty oak, blackcurrant oil, fruit gum sweetness. On the palate, elegance and balance are in place, despite the wealth of fruit, tannin and acidity. Concentrated. Brilliant. One for the cellar; may well need something approaching two decades to show its best.
Winery
There are two Bartons in Bordeaux, Léoville and Langoa, and it is quite right to suppose that the two are related. Both are owned by the Barton family, and have been for nearly two centuries, the longest period of single-family ownership of any Bordeaux chateaux. In fact it is Langoa rather than Léoville to which this accolade should be accorded, the former having been purchased by Hugh Barton in 1821, five years before he also took on his portion of the dissolved Léoville estate.
