DESCRIPTION / TASTING NOTE
A strong effort from Langoa Barton, the 2013 possesses a deep ruby/purple color, a crunchy, juicy mid-palate, sweet tannins, adequate acidity, and a medium-bodied, fleshy mouthfeel. Atypically for this estate, it should drink well during its first 7-10 years of life.
ABOUT PRODUCER
Château Langoa-Barton, 3rd Classified Growth, was the first of the two Bordeaux wine estates bought by Hugh Barton in the 1820s, the other being Léoville-Barton, 2nd Classified Growth.
Hugh Barton was a descendant of an Irish family which settled in Bordeaux in the 18th century and which has a long and distinguished history in the region’s wine trade. Both properties are still family-owned and run and together represent the longest tradition of unchanged ownership in the Médoc. Anthony Barton is the current proprietor but is gradually passing the reins to his daughter Lillian.
