Tasting notes
Racy, polished and very appetising. Super clean and fresh. Brisk. But I'd go for a lowlier 2009 or 2010 for value. Not that much stuffing. (JR)

Dark crimson. Lightly fragrant. Silky textured. Very classic with a discernible line. Racy tannins. Pure claret. Very appetising. GV (JR)
Very Cabernet and aromatic and silky. Lovely super-bordeaux style of wine. Fresh. Delicate. Perhaps a bit fragile but very seductive and appetising. This wine can still be found for a very good price. GV (JR)
About the producer

Hugh Barton purchased this estate, alongside Second Growth Ch. Léoville Barton, in the 1820s. Classified as a Third Growth and run by Lilian Barton with her children Damien and Mélanie today, the 20 hectares of vines produce some of the appellation’s most elegant wines – and at reasonable prices.
