This wine is classified *** in the Guide de La Revue des Vins de France 2025.

The 2013 Château Léoville Barton is a grand cru from the Saint-Julien appellation, produced by one of the most famous estates in the Médoc. This vintage combines the elegance of the Bordeaux terroir with the power of its grape varieties, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon . The half-bottle format is perfect for discovering this exceptional wine, offering a beautiful concentration while being ideal for smaller occasions or meals for two. This wine is distinguished by its tannic structure, its complex aromatic bouquet and its aging potential.

Features

  • Color: The color is an intense, deep red, with purple highlights, typical of the great Bordeaux wines of Saint-Julien.
  • Nose: The nose is elegant, mixing aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) and delicate notes of cedar, leather and tobacco. Spicy touches, such as liquorice and vanilla, enrich this complex bouquet.
  • Palate: The palate is fleshy, well-structured and perfectly balanced. The tannins are firm but silky, offering a beautiful sensation of texture. The flavors of black fruits harmonize with woody and lightly roasted notes, creating an impression of richness and depth.
  • Finish: The finish is long and persistent, marked by subtle notes of mocha and graphite. It leaves a beautiful freshness and a sensation of finesse.

Food & Wine Pairings

The Léoville Barton 2013 is the ideal companion for refined and powerful dishes, such as:

  • Grilled or sauced red meats (rib of beef, roast lamb)
  • Game meat (deer, roe deer, pheasant)
  • Hard ripened cheeses (Comté, Parmesan)
  • Dishes with character, such as beef Wellington or meat in a crust.

Service Tips

  • Serving temperature: 16-18°C
  • Cellaring: Although this wine can be enjoyed today, it will continue to improve with age. It is expected to age comfortably for 10 to 15 years, or even longer.
  • Aeration: It is recommended to decant the wine one hour before serving to allow its aromas to fully open up and to soften the tannins.
