| Availability: | In stock (3) |
The Bordeaux Wine Classification of 1855 has always been a very important and historic moment for the wine region of Bordeaux. Brokers from the wine industry ranked the wines according to a Chateau’s reputation and trading price, from First to Fifth Growths (crus). This isn’t a guarantee of quality but certainly a very impressive guideline to follow and have some fun with. In this classification system, Chateau Leoville Barton, in Saint-Julien, is rated as a Second Growth. For almost 300 years, the Barton family’s passion for magical wine is reflected in their consistency with every vintage. This offering is an absolute beauty blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, that has been aged between 16 and 18 months in 60% new French Oak. You’ll taste a luscious mix of blackberry, black cherry, cassis and red currant, with a hint of cigar box, forest leaf, violets, pencil shavings and creamy cocoa. Drink between: 2026-2052
