In the shadow of its older brother (Léoville-Barton), Langoa-Barton with a vineyard of barely 17 ha is the smallest and least known of the classified growths of Saint-Julien. Nevertheless, it offers the elegant and graceful fruitiness of Saint-Julien with a remarkable capacity for ageing. And a very reasonable price!
Bettane+Desseauve : 95-96/100 "Probably one of the best value-for-money wines in the Médoc this year. Very similar to Léoville in terms of style, flavour and depth, but also in the remarkable integration of its oak."
J-M Quarin : 95/100 "Black in colour. An intense, refined, fruity, subtle and elegant nose. A lovely aroma of fresh blackberries. Very chic. Extremely delicate on the palate, with a body that melts away instantly and a touch of great class; the wine lingers on the finish, smooth, elegant, fragrant and refined in its tannic structure. Wow!"
La Revue du Vin de France : 93-95/100 "True to its character, Langoa Barton captivates with its natural elegance. The wine is smooth and velvety, with subtle tannins and a supple texture. The result is a vibrant, supple wine that offers an immediate appeal without sacrificing length."
Vinous (N. Martin) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Langoa-Barton was picked between September 4 and 18 and matured in 60% new oak barrels. It has a lively bouquet with the Merlot in full effect, blueberry and cassis scents, and just a background touch of peppermint. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a lovely caressing texture, very well balanced with a touch of pepperiness towards the persistent finish. What a gorgeous Langoa!"
Vinous (A. Galloni) : 91-93/100 "The 2025 Langoa-Barton is a very racy wine. Plush contours and vibrant dark red/purplish fruit are the signatures. Crushed flowers, cinnamon, red plum, blood orange and dried herbs open nicely in the glass. Floral overtones brighten the finish. This mid-weight, fruity, Merlot-driven Saint-Julien is all charm. It should drink well with minimal cellaring."
