The 2019 Château Langoa Barton is a distinguished Third Growth (3ème Grand Cru Classé) from Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, made from 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. The nose is expressive with blackcurrant, blackberry and plum alongside fresh red fruits, cedar, subtle florals and savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with excellent concentration, lively acidity and fine, ripe tannins. Matured for 16–18 months in French oak, including 60% new barrels, it combines concentrated dark fruit with cedar and spice, leading to a long, fresh and structured finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Bordeaux drinkers who enjoy concentrated Cabernet fruit, fine tannins and the refined structure of Saint-Julien. Enjoy it now with decanting or cellar well into the 2040s as further savoury complexity develops. Ideal with roast lamb, grilled steak, slow-braised beef, venison or mature hard cheeses.
