Description

The 2016 Château Langoa Barton is a distinguished Third Growth (3ème Grand Cru Classé) from Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, made from 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. The nose is classic and expressive with blackcurrant, black cherry and bramble fruit, layered with violet, cedar, graphite, tobacco and subtle spice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit, fresh acidity and fine, structured tannins. Matured for around 18 months in French oak, including 60% new barrels, it combines cassis and plum with cedar, cocoa and savoury mineral notes, leading to a long, precise and persistent finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Bordeaux drinkers who enjoy concentrated Cabernet fruit, refined tannins and classic Saint-Julien structure with developing savoury complexity. Drinking well now, it can continue developing into the late 2030s and beyond. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steak, slow-braised beef, venison or mature hard cheeses.

About the region

Bordeaux · Saint-Julien

Bordeaux is blended wine, built around the Gironde estuary. On the left bank, deep gravel suits Cabernet Sauvignon, which anchors the firm, long-ageing reds of the Médoc and Pessac-Léognan. On the right bank, cooler clay and limestone favour Merlot and Cabernet Franc, giving the softer, earlier-drinking wines of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Upriver at Sauternes, autumn mists bring the botrytis that concentrates Sémillon into one of the great sweet wines.
