The 2009 Château Langoa Barton is a classic, highly-rated Saint-Julien Third Growth from Bordeaux. It is a lush, medium-to-full-bodied blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 12% Cabernet Franc. The wine is prized for its balance of ripe dark fruits, spice, and fine acidity.
The 2009 vintage in Bordeaux is often referred to as the "vintage of the century" due to an exceptional growing season that produced hedonistic, ripe wines.
Aroma: Rich, dark red and black fruits, complemented by notes of cedar, damp earth, tobacco, and baking spices.
Palate: Impeccable balance of dense cassis fruit, savory herbs, lively acids, and fully integrated, supple tannins.
