Every bottle of Léoville Barton is made in Langoa Barton's cellar, so this Third Growth is the house its more famous sibling actually lives in. Langoa is the 3rd Growth sister estate to Léoville Barton. The Barton family has farmed both for two centuries, and the same hands make both wines under one roof. It started with a building: in 1821 Hugh Barton, grandson of the Irishman Thomas Barton who settled in Bordeaux in 1722, bought the elegant 1758 château because he loved its architecture. When he added the Léoville vineyards in 1826, he didn't bother buying a winery, since he already had one. The vines sit on slopes of quaternary gravel overlooking the Gironde, and the family still owns the place: Lilian Barton and her children are the tenth generation in Bordeaux. Léoville gets the spotlight, but Langoa gives you the same pedigree with a fraction of the fuss. This 2000 is a chance to open an older vintage from an 1855 classified growth still owned by the family that bought it.

Antonio Galloni

89 points

"The 2000 Langoa-Barton is quite upfront on the nose, delivering lush black fruit, menthol, boysenberry and cedar, opulent for the vintage and quite precocious. The palate is lightly spiced and very cohesive, with saturated tannins and fine acidity, quite backward for a 2000 and less rustic than some of the millennials. It lacks a little complexity and mineralité on the finish and fades a bit in the glass." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

91 points

"Showing far more impressively from bottle than it ever did from cask, this wine has turned out to be an outstanding Langoa Barton. It reveals a deep, saturated purple color and an expansive, sweet nose of earthy black currants, plum, and melted licorice. Structured, dense, chewy, with full body, good acidity, and plenty of tannin, this is undeniably a wine for patient connoisseurs, or as the French say, a vin de garde." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Jancis Robinson

"Mid to deep crimson with a hint of blue, still. High toned, scented but obviously very dry. No-compromises bordeaux. This is not trying to get a score. This is just how it came out that year. Bone dry and still work in progress with quite marked tannins still."

Wine Spectator

94 points

"This has a strapping, still-youthful core of blackberry, boysenberry and fig confiture flavors, wonderfully studded with ganache and sweet tobacco accents. The finish is loaded with seamless tannins that let the fruit notes play out. More fruit-driven overall, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Wine Enthusiast

90 points

"The junior of the two wines produced by the Barton family, this is a subtle, classic wine. Structure and firm tannins sit alongside the perfectly formed, under-stated red and black fruits." —Roger Voss

More about Chateau Langoa-Barton

Langoa Barton is the home base of one of Bordeaux's great family stories. The Bartons, a wine family of Irish origin, have owned it since 1821, the longest run of any family at a single estate in the Médoc. It is also where the wine of its better-known sibling, Léoville Barton, is made, because the Léoville vineyard has no château of its own.

Hugh Barton bought the property, then called Pontet-Langlois, in 1821 and gave it the family name; a few years later he added part of the Léoville estate next door. Anthony Barton ran both estates from 1983 until his death in 2022, and his daughter Lilian Barton Sartorius now leads them, with her children Damien and Mélanie increasingly involved.

The vineyard is small by Médoc standards, around twenty hectares of deep gravel over clay in Saint-Julien, planted mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and a little Cabernet Franc. The grapes are picked by hand, and the wine is aged in French oak, a good share of it new, in the same cellar and by the same team as Léoville. The result is classic claret: cassis, cedar and tobacco, firm in youth, a shade more supple than its sibling, and very patient in the cellar.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, dry-aged ribeye, cassoulet, squab with juniper, or a board of aged Comté and Mimolette. Classic Left Bank food for a classic Left Bank claret.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Saint-Julien profile: blackcurrant and plum with graphite, tobacco and a savoury, gravelly edge from the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Typically full-bodied but polished, with firm, fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity and a long, dry finish. With bottle age, the style tends to soften toward leather, earth and dried dark fruit.
