The wine has a good, deep, ruby-red color, but is not quite opaque. Dark, cassis fruit on the nose is of medium intensity & is dominated by notes of cedarwood & tobacco-leaf. The palate shows more open, blackcurrant fruit, which is supported by fresh acidity. Tannins are firm but only really show themselves on the finish.
Producer Information
Chteau Langoa Barton is a winery and vineyard in the Saint-Julien appelation of the Mdoc. In the official 1855 Bordeaux classification it was ranked as a third growth. Akin to many wines produced in the area, Langoa Barton is Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant. It does however have more Merlot than its adjacent sibling estate, Loville Barton. Oddly, the Langoa Barton house appears on the label of the Loville Barton wine, since the latter has no house of its own. Chteau Mauvesin Barton is also included within the company holdings. There are 20 hectares (49 acres) of vines altogether, composed of 54 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, with 35 percent Merlot and 11 percent Cabernet Franc. These proportions are quite different to that of Loville Barton, although the gravel over clay soils are similar, and viticultural methods are identical, employing traditional plowing. Grapes are all hand-harvested and in the winery, are fermented on a plot-by-plot basis in thermo-regulated wooden vats. The grand vin is aged in French oak barrels, with up to 70 percent new oak depending on the vintage.
