The current owners of Chateau Langoa Barton, Barton family, are able to trace their Bordeaux roots back to 1722.Chateau Langoa Barton has unique distinction to be the only chateau that is still in the hands of the same family as it was in 1855 when Classified Growths were define. 
The 25 hectare St. Julien vineyards are planted to 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. Average vine age is 35. Vines are replaced by the time they reach 40 years of age.The wine of Chateau Langoa Barton is aged for about 20 months in i 50% new, French oak barrels.

Not quite as generous as Léoville Barton, replaced with classicism and subdued tannins, as we see the impact of a slightly cooler terroir. Juicy finish, black fruits, plenty of life and lift through the palate. Enjoyable, but closed in with clove spice that is very clear on the finish. Tasted twice. A yield of 34hl/ha. Harvest September 14 to 28. Drinking Window 2027 - 2042

Very pretty blackberry and blueberry character with blackcurrants and mint. It’s medium-to full-bodied with linear, tight tannins that are polished and fine.

93-94 points James Suckling jamessuckling.com

Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Langoa Barton needs a little swirling to unlock youthfully muted scents of warm cassis, black cherry preserves and boysenberries, plus hints of menthol, graphite, tilled soil and bouquet garni. The medium-bodied palate is delicately played with impressive freshness delivered by the red berry and herbal sparks within a black-fruit core, with grainy tannins to support, finishing long and invigorating.
