"A profound, stunning effort"
- Robert M. Parker Jr.
Château Léoville Barton perfectly embodies the unassailable spirit of the Médoc, through wines that shine with remarkable consistency and unmistakable class. From vintage to vintage, the estate has remained at the top of the appellation, appealing to the most demanding of Bordeaux collectors. Château Léoville Barton boasts the longest familial legacy of a vineyard in all of Bordeaux, starting in 1725 with Irishman Thomas Barton, Eighth and ninth-generation family members Lilian and Damien Barton took over the reins here in 2022 after the death of Anthony Barton. Anthony was responsible for the skyrocketing quality at Léoville Barton, and his legendary tenure saw the wine evolving from a solid, mid-performing Second Growth, to one of the most exciting and scintillating wines in St. Julien. Business at the château is booming and they can count Robert M. Parker Jr firmly among their enthusiastic devotees, who considers Château Léoville Barton to be “grossly underpriced,” and right up there at the “Super Second Level.” Mr. Parker is never wrong. Take him at his word and pounce on this Double 98 Point beauty. Only 36 Bottles Available - Act Fast!

Review - Robert M. Parker Jr. - A spectacular success, the opaque plum-colored 2003 Leoville Barton is still on the young side of its plateau of maturity. It exhibits a striking bouquet of forest floor and black currants as well as a full-bodied, exuberant, youthful style, an opaque plum/ruby color, a lot of complexity, and striking depth and richness. This is a profound, stunning effort from Anthony Barton and his team. Bravo! It should continue to provide immense pleasure for 20-30 years. RP.
