Tasting notes
In 1992, both Barton estates turned out pleasant wines, although Langoa clearly does not possess the intensity of its sibling, Leoville-Barton. However, it is an attractively fruity, soft, charming, traditionally-styled wine with some achingly painful tannin in the finish. The wine does not possess the fruit or depth to balance out its structure. Nevertheless, this is a cedary, herb, and curranty-flavored wine for drinking over the next 5-7 years.

About the producer
Hugh Barton purchased this estate, alongside Second Growth Ch. Léoville Barton, in the 1820s. Classified as a Third Growth and run by Lilian Barton with her children Damien and Mélanie today, the 20 hectares of vines produce some of the appellation’s most elegant wines – and at reasonable prices.
