Over het wijnhuis | Het is een komen en gaan van eigenaren in de Médoc. Dat geldt niet voor Château Langoa-Barton, waar vandaag de dag de negende generatie, Lilian Barton Sartorius, aan het roer staat. Het is het enige huis uit de Médoc Classificatie van 1855 dat nog steeds in handen is van dezelfde familie. Dat gaat vermoedelijk nog wel even door, want Lilian’s kinderen, Damian en Mélanie, zitten inmiddels ook in de business. |

Awards | “The 2018 Langoa Barton has a deep garnet-purple color and notions of ripe blackcurrants, fresh blackberries and kirsch with touches of bouquet garni, cedar chest and pencil lead plus a hint of crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled and refreshing with bright, red fruit and herbal sparks lifting the black fruit and an approachable, chewy texture, finishing savory.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate ”Currants, cloves, graphite and cigar box on the nose. Some pine and citrus zest, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins. Structured and vivid with plenty of tension. Lovely sweet fruit at the finish. Try from 2025.” – James Suckling ”Ripe and focused, with a lovely core of steeped plum, fig and cassis notes laced liberally with graphite and applewood. A violet note chimes bright on the finish. Absolutely rock solid. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2036.” – Wine Spectator ”63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc. Deep ruby colour. Powerful and dominated by black fruit on the nose – there are flecks of oak but they are subtle and well integrated. Superb intensity on the palate, just enough sweetness of fruit to coat the plentiful, ripe tannins. The oak builds complexity rather than masking the fruit in a complete mouthfeel. The chalky intensity of tannin means that this will age very well, but the succulence in the mid-palate will make for some superb drinking over a long period.” – Jancis Robinson ”Beautifully textured and rich in black-currant flavors and tannins, this is a generous wine. The fruits and the dusty tannins partner each other well giving structure, concentration, a sense of poise and final freshness. Drink this wine from 2026.” – Wine Enthusiast ”The 2018 Langoa Barton is succulent and racy right out of the gate. Inky red fruit, sweet floral notes, cedar and spice all mesh together effortlessly. This mid-weight, pliant Saint-Julien is every bit as seductive as it was from barrel.” – Vinous ”Ruby red in colour, with clove aromatics. Firm tannic structure, without having the 360-degree reach of the 2016s, but this is an enjoyable, well-balanced and well-judged St-Julien with power but careful extraction. Bright berry fruits, a little austere - at least right now - but plenty of potential. Drinking Window 2026 – 2044.” – Decanter |
