Even if their evolution always involves a period of austerity, Léoville-Barton wines have a supreme class and elegance, due as much to the advanced age of the vines as to meticulous work. Always praised by the critics, as in 2015 "fine, sapid and very long, lots of class on the palate, with a juicy side and superb texture", rated 97/100 by the Revue du Vin de France.
J-M Quarin: 93/100 "Dark, intense purple colour. Very aromatic nose, fine, pure, with ripe fruit. Hints of ink and Cabernet Sauvignon when the glass is shaken. Meticulous on entry, tasty in the middle, the wine evolves juicy, with a touch of wood, towards a rather austere finish for the vintage. Ageing will give it a patina." (April 2025)
