Château Langoa Barton 3. Cru Classe St. Julien 2021

"Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit Orangenzesten unterlegte feine Nuancen von Cassis und Brombeeren, sehr ein- ladendes Bukett. Mittlerer Körper, reife Kirschen, feine Tannine, leichtfüßig und zugänglich, vielseitig einsetzbar."
92/100 Punkte

"The first vintage vinified in the Barton family's new winery, the 2021 Langoa Barton is immensely promising, offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and black truffle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate that's deep and complete, its vibrant core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and lively acids. It's a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times."

"The 2021 Langoa Barton is an attractive, mid-weight Saint-Julien that should drink nicely with minimal cellaring. Red fruit, cedar, spice, tobacco and rose petal lend lovely vibrancy throughout. Brightness and energy drive the balance in this understated, classy Saint-Julien from the Barton family." von ANTONIO GALLONI

"The 2021 Langoa Barton was picked 27 September until 7 October, matured in 60% new oak. Analysis shows 13.03% alcohol. It has a well-defined bouquet with expressive Merlot this year. Hints of blood orange/orange sorbet percolate through the red fruit. It has a skip in its step. The palate is medium-bodied with a taut and fresh entry. Plenty of sapidity here, oyster shell tinged with a well-defined and quite persistent finish. Lovely length, this is quite a gorgeous Saint-Julien that will age beautifully in bottle." von NEAL MARTIN

"Sehr schöne Fruchtintensität mit Noten von schwarzen Johannisbeeren und süßen Gewürzen. Am Gaumen ist der Wein ausgewogen und von kompakten, feinkörnigen Tanninen gestützt. Die Tannine sind etwas auffällig im Finale, aber die Reifung wird die Kanten abrunden. Ein Wein mit Charme, Finesse und Länge."
