Third Growth. Troisieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Expert tasting note: (2008 vintage) "Medium to deep ruby-red with purple touches at the rim. indistinct dark-fruit has earthy & meaty aromas, Very traditional cassisfruit is dried out by a touch of earthy brett. There is plenty of toasty oak, a nice structure & fair length, but bretty notes cut the fruit a bit short." - 11/12 DCAMW

About the Product
- Classification
- 3eme Grand Cru Classé
- Producer Notes
- 200 YEARS IN THE HEART OF ST JULIEN 1722 - Thomas Barton left his native Ireland to settle in Bordeaux, founding few years later a wine merchant company - that still bears the name Barton today. 1821 - His grandson, Hugh Barton, purchased Château Langoa, an elegant residence built in 1758. He was seduced by the architecture and its 20 hectares of vines planted in the Saint-Julien appellation. His passion and pride in his wine were only to grow when he saw Langoa awarded the rank of "Third Classified Growth" in the historic 1855 classification. 6 generations later, the Barton story continues with Anthony's daughter, Lilian, and her two children, now writing the chapter of the 10th generation in Bordeaux.

The plots that compose the Château Langoa Barton terroir overlook the river. The splendid slopes of quaternary gravel bring the grapes to full maturity and then they undergo a rigorous selection process before being chosen for the Langoa Barton. The plowing is traditional, without weeding or herbicide. The grape varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon 57%, Merlot 34% and Cabernet Franc 9%.

- Harvest Notes
-
From 1st to 13th October
- Winemaking
-
The harvesting is done entirely by hand. After the de-temming, the berries are carefully sorted, crushed and poured in wooden vats thermo-regulated, according to their plots. The alcoholic fermentation lasts from 7 to 10 days and the extraction is always respectful of the juice by adjusting the number of pumping depending on the cuvées and the vintages. The maceration is about 3 weeks then the juice is drawn in barrels, lot by lot. The wines are topped up 3 times a week to avoid any contact between the wine and the air, the racking is traditional using the so-called "à l'esquive" method.

- Ageing
-
The wine is then aged between 16 and 18 months in French oak barrels of which 60% are brand new, in a cellar maintained at 15 °.
- Producer Tasting Notes
-
The rich crimson reflects the extraordinary ripeness of the harvest, with its multi- coloured personality, an extraordinary tapestry. It offers a surprising freshness on the nose, where balsamic and dried citrus fruit aromas intermingle around a generous framework that has not yet lost the austerity of its youth.

Ruby. Scented, dark fruits, cassis and spices, detailed nose, very fruit driven. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, juicy, dark fruits, detailed, elegant texture, lovely right now, but youthful still. Long finish.
2008 Vintage
Tasted: Sep 2018
Full bodied, with some tannins still to be resolved, the wine offers a classic character, with bright, crisp, red berries in the nose and mouth, freshness and a crisp, juicy, earth herbs, and cedar note that adds to the bright cassis.

This is really pretty and jumps out of the glass with lots of raspberry and blueberry aromas and floral undertones. Medium to full body, silky tannins and a bright acidity. Drink or hold. Very impressive for the vintage.

Tasted: Jul 2011
92-94 Barrel sample. A big, concentrated, powerful wine, yet also one restrained by elegant fresh fruits. There is plenty of style here, a complex mix of fruits, acidity and balanced tannins.

For Bordeaux, the 2008 vintage was a good year, but perhaps stopped short of great.
The weather threw a few surprises, with the growing season kicking off with a mild winter. Early spring saw cool, damp weather, which prompted both rot and disease, making spraying essent...
