La Réserve de Léoville Barton Saint-Julien 2020 0,75l
La Réserve de Léoville Barton is the second wine of the renowned Saint-Julien estate Château Léoville Barton. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and the wine is matured in French oak barrels. The nose reveals red and black berries, cassis and cherry, joined by hints of tobacco, cedar, graphite and fresh herbs. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, with juicy fruit, finely chiselled tannins and lively acidity. The style is classically structured yet approachable, finishing with mineral, slightly saline notes. A refined left-bank Bordeaux to serve with grilled meats, lamb or slow-cooked beef dishes.
Sixteen to eighteen months in once-used French barriques give the second wine subtle oak maturity and fine structure.
