FRIARWOOD SAYS
"Château Langoa Barton holds a unique place among the 1855 Classified Growths, still owned by the same family who held it at the time of classification. The 2016 vintage perfectly showcases the estate’s commitment to crafting wines of structure, elegance, and timeless appeal."

ABOUT THE WINE
The Barton family’s Bordeaux roots trace back to 1722 when they left Ireland to establish a new life in France. In 1821, they purchased the Saint-Julien estate, Pontet-Langlois, and renamed it Château Langoa Barton. Spanning 25 hectares, the vineyards are situated inland from the Gironde estuary in the heart of the appellation, benefitting from a relatively cool terroir. With a steadfast dedication to tradition, only 50% new oak barrels are used during winemaking, resulting in wines with exceptional longevity and elegance rather than flashiness. The 2016 Château Langoa Barton, composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc, exemplifies the estate’s pursuit of excellence. This vintage is structured for long-term ageing and is best enjoyed 10-20 years from vintage.

TASTING NOTES
The 2016 Château Langoa Barton reveals a bouquet of blackcurrants, cherries, and plums, layered with notes of cedar, graphite, and a touch of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with velvety tannins and fresh acidity, showcasing flavors of dark berries, cassis, and a hint of cocoa. The finish is long, elegant, and deeply satisfying, underscoring its ability to age gracefully.

FOOD PAIRING
This wine pairs wonderfully with steak, slow-roasted lamb, or beef bourguignon. It also complements aged hard cheeses, hearty mushroom dishes, or grilled venison. For a special pairing, try it alongside duck confit or truffle-infused risotto.
