CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2025 Léoville Barton was picked between 4 September and 18 September and matured in 60% new oak barrels. This has an exquisite bouquet already, with ebullient blackberry and bilberry scents, beautifully integrated oak, keeping the DNA of Léoville Barton despite the warm summer. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, gentle grip, very pure fruit and a "cool" and focused finish. With lower alcohol, between 13.0 and 13.5%, the terroir really shows through here. Superb.

86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample.Slightly reticent, dark-fruit nose. Layered fruit on the palate with firm, ripe tannins behind. Oak still present so still embryonic and not fully knit but clear potential. (JL)
