{"product_id":"chateau-leoville-barton-grand-cru-classe-saint-julien-2018","title":"Château Léoville Barton Grand Cru Classé Saint-Julien 2018","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Barton family's Bordeaux story begins in 1725, when Thomas Barton left Ireland for the Gironde, and they have been an anchor of Saint-Julien ever since. Hugh Barton purchased the Léoville plot in 1826, and the family has held it through every generation since, most recently passing to Lilian and Damien Barton. The wines are known for their classicism: Cabernet-dominant, firm in youth, and built for decades of cellaring. The 2018 is as good as it gets. Six critics scored it 97 points (Farr Vintners, Jeb Dunnuck, James Suckling, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and James Lawther MW), with Decanter at 96 and Wine Advocate at 94+. The critical consensus is that this is among the finest Léoville Barton in recent memory, a wine of stunning depth, graphite-laced dark fruit, and the kind of backbone that will need a decade to begin to soften. The pricing here is exceptional for what's in the glass.
