Château Léoville Barton 2007 comes from an early drinking Bordeaux vintage, a tricky vintage in which Barton showed its class and consistency.

There are few Bordeaux châteaux today that consistently receive such favourable press from journalists and consumers alike, yet remain such good value-for-money. Thanks to the Barton’s noble aim to produce classic Saint- Julien wines that many consumers can afford, Léoville Barton is one such château.

Léoville Barton is owned and run by the congenial Anthony Barton and his daughter Lilian, who have succeeded in maintaining its reputation for producing traditional top-flight Bordeaux wines with great ageing potential, yet relatively small Saint-Julien price tags.

“...perfectly respectable 2007 from Anthony Barton. Very fine definition on the light nose, hints of blackberry and cedar, just a hint of black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied, a much more feminine Leoville-Barton destined for early- to medium-term drinking. Harmonious and unpretentious, crisp redberried fruit, wild strawberry and tart cherry on the finish.” eRobertParker.com (Nov 2009)
