Langoa is on a roll of stunning releases, and in 2021 the Merlot seems to add flair and a touch of glitz to the beautiful backbone of Cabernet. Smooth, classy and controlled, this is a thrilling wine and one that will be sure to enchant the senses while, hopefully, not breaking the bank! 17.5

Blackberry and black olives with currants and crushed stone. Medium body, integrated tannins and a savory finish.

The 2021 Château Langoa Barton (61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc) has a great, pure, medium-bodied style as well as medium-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It has good acidity, notes of violets, graphite, and tobacco, quality tannins, and a great finish. The balance here is spot on, and this is certainly an outstanding wine in the making. It's also the first vintage to be made in the new winery, which was still under construction while I was in Bordeaux.

Excellent corps, représentatif du millésime par sa fraîcheur sans verdeur de la texture et de la saveur, sans avoir atteint l’individualité qui sera la sienne avec le temps.

It is unexpected to find that the later-ripening gravel clay soil of Langoa Barton's would deliver such a good level of phenolic maturity in 2021. During the entire tasting process, it maintained a reserved mouthfeel yet a smooth silhouette, drinkable even when it's young. It is mesmerizing to experience its transition from oak and toasted aromas on the nose to a world filled with bright fresh fruits. A juicy delicious experience that makes you take one gulp after another. ????,Langoa Barton????????????2021??????????????????????????????????????,?????????????????????????????????????,????????????????,?????????,??????????

Peppery spices, herbs and red currants come through on the nose and palate. This is a solid example of classic, medium/full-bodied, Bordeaux focused on its bright, crisp, red fruits, freshness and peppery spice in the endnote. The wine blends 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. For Langoa Barton, a wine that normally takes quite a bit of time to fun to drink, you can enjoy this quite early. Drink from 2025-2047. 90-92

The 2021 Langoa Barton was picked 27 September until 7 October, matured in 60% new oak. Analysis shows 13.03% alcohol. It has a well-defined bouquet with expressive Merlot this year. Hints of blood orange/orange sorbet percolate through the red fruit. It has a skip in its step. The palate is medium-bodied with a taut and fresh entry. Plenty of sapidity here, oyster shell tinged with a well-defined and quite persistent finish. Lovely length, this is quite a gorgeous Saint-Julien that will age beautifully in bottle.

The 2021 Langoa Barton is an attractive, mid-weight Saint-Julien that should drink nicely with minimal cellaring. Red fruit, cedar, spice, tobacco and rose petal lend lovely vibrancy throughout. Brightness and energy drive the balance in this understated, classy Saint-Julien from the Barton family.

Avec un très joli nez de fruits noirs, de cassis et de mure, Langoa Barton étonne par l'harmonie de son bouquet, la précision de ses arômes et la complexité du bouquet. Pointe graphite à l'aération. Bouche charnue et dense, de très beaux tanins légèrement boisés avec une allonge et une acidité parfaitement maitrisée en milieu de bouche. Un vin sur l'allonge, la fraicheur et la précision. Une très belle bouteille en devenir.

The first vintage vinified in the Barton family's new winery, the 2021 Langoa Barton is immensely promising, offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and black truffle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate that's deep and complete, its vibrant core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and lively acids. It's a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times.
