Château Léoville Barton 1985 is a classic Saint-Julien blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The vineyard is characterised by high-density planting on deep gravel soils, which produce wines of great structural focus. The 1985 vintage is celebrated for its charm and aromatic complexity, often described as an approachable counterpart to the 1986. This half bottle format has accelerated the maturation process, resulting in a wine that is fully open and expressive. It offers a bouquet of cedar, tobacco leaf and dried blackcurrants, with a supple and integrated palate.
