About this Item

2002 Saint-Julien
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Château Langoa Barton is a winery and vineyard in the Saint-Julien appelation of the Médoc. In the official 1855 Bordeaux classification it was ranked as a third growth. Like many wines made in the area, Langoa Barton is Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, but with more Merlot than its adjacent sibling estate, Léoville Barton. Somewhat confusingly, the château features on the label of Léoville Barton – which has no château building or winery of its own – but not on Langoa's. In 1821, Anglo-Irish wine merchant Hugh Barton bought Château Langoa and a portion of the Léoville estate which became Léoville Barton. Anthony Barton inherited the two properties from his uncle Ronald in 1983.

Critics Ratings

'Dark crimson. Lightly fragrant. Silky textured. Very classic with a discernible line. Racy tannins. Pure claret. Very appetising.'- Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Mar 2012)

‘Beautiful aromas of licorice, currants and berries follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a seductive finish. Well-crafted. Not overdone. I like this slightly better than the Léoville Barton.’ - Wine Spectator, 90/100
