Chateau Leoville Barton 2015 Saint-Julien, Deuxieme Cru Classé, Bordeaux
Minimum order: 6 bottles. We sell in cases of 6 or 12 to ensure you get the best deal, best price and best service.
This famous estate, which it's direct Irish connection (the family still all have Irish passports!) is a 2nd Growth Bordeaux Classic and ALWAYS makes a great wine!
The 2015 Vintage offered a very hot and very dry April to late July; a wetter than usual August; a cooler than usual September, which was also drier than normal except for the northern Médoc. But for most of the region it rained just enough, and just at the right junctures, to ensure perfect development of the grapes.
The vintage blend was 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot, with 60% going into new barrels.
If offers an intense colour in the glass, with a nose that is full of black fruit, spice and cedar. It delivers some serious wow - dripping with warm fig, blackberry and boysenberry reduction notes, along with melted black liquorice and fruitcake flavours.
It has ample grip but remains beautifully polished, letting the intense and delicate fruit sail on .. and on ...
A real Treat
