La Réserve de Léoville Barton 2005 is a notable vintage from Barton family, who have been wine producers in St-Julien since the 18th century. This wine encompasses a typical blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon (70-75%), supported by Merlot (20-25%) and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc (approximately 5%). The estate’s gravelly soils foster a structure that aligns with Saint-Julien`s reputation for well-balanced wines. A testament to the estate`s dedication, this ripe vintage offers an extraordinary insights into the evolution of fine Bordeaux wines.
