Classified as Second Growth in 1855, Château Léoville-Barton is a prestigious estate on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, founded by Hugh Barton in 1826. The estate, today led by Lilian Barton Sartorius with the help of her two sons, extends on 50 hectares of vineyards planted mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon, a part of Merlot, and small quantities of Cabernet Franc. Thanks to the gravelly soils with clay subsoil and the use of traditional winemaking methods the winery makes wines of great elegance typical of Saint-Julien.
The wine is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with additions of Merlot. The finished wine is aged in French oak barriques, 50% of which are new.
Chateau Leoville Barton is an extremely elegant wine with a clear color with intense red tones and violet reflections. On the nose, it reveals a fresh and broad aromatic profile with notes of dark fruit such as cassis, currant, and blackberry, hints of toast and vanilla, and finally nuances of tobacco and licorice. On the palate, it is full and complex, fresh and linear. Its tannins are firm and well-integrated and the finish is long and well-balanced with fruity hints and some spicy notes. Excellent with feathered game such as pheasant and guinea fowl.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
