Tasting Notes
More Info
Langoa-Barton’s vines lie on classic St Julien gravel-clay soils, planted to 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. The grapes are vinified and matured exactly like those at sibling Léoville-Barton. The key difference between the two wines lies in the distinct terroir of each vineyard block. Looking a little to the North, the terroir is excellent in hotter years like 2016.
