Goedhuis, April 2022, Score: 93-95
Ch Langoa Barton always proves a very fine foil to its family neighbour Léoville. As always, a little more open at the primeur tastings, this is layered and polished. It opens with an immediate attack of dark berry fruits, never ostentatious, but appealingly composed, subtle and graceful. Everything is in place, and this will always give pleasure.

Neal Martin, April 2022, Score: 91-93
The 2021 Langoa Barton was picked 27 September until 7 October, matured in 60% new oak. Analysis shows 13.03% alcohol. It has a well-defined bouquet with expressive Merlot this year. Hints of blood orange/orange sorbet percolate through the red fruit. It has a skip in its step. The palate is medium-bodied with a taut and fresh entry. Plenty of sapidity here, oyster shell tinged with a well-defined and quite persistent finish. Lovely length, this is quite a gorgeous Saint-Julien that will age beautifully in bottle. Drink 2026 - 2048

Antonio Galloni, April 2022, Score: 90-92
The 2021 Langoa Barton is an attractive, mid-weight Saint-Julien that should drink nicely with minimal cellaring. Red fruit, cedar, spice, tobacco and rose petal lend lovely vibrancy throughout. Brightness and energy drive the balance in this understated, classy Saint-Julien from the Barton family. Drink 2031-2046

Wine Advocate, April 2022, Score: 92-94
The first vintage vinified in the Barton family's new winery, the 2021 Langoa Barton is immensely promising, offering up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and black truffle, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate that's deep and complete, its vibrant core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and lively acids. It's a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Tasted three times.

Matthew Jukes, April 2022, Score: 17.5
Langoa is on a roll of stunning releases, and in 2021 the Merlot seems to add flair and a touch of glitz to the beautiful backbone of Cabernet. Smooth, classy and controlled, this is a thrilling wine and one that will be sure to enchant the senses while, hopefully, not breaking the bank!

Wine Cellar Insider, April 2022, Score: 90-92
Peppery spices, herbs and red currants come through on the nose and palate. This is a solid example of classic, medium/full-bodied, Bordeaux focused on its bright, crisp, red fruits, freshness and peppery spice in the endnote. The wine blends 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. For Langoa Barton, a wine that normally takes quite a bit of time to fun to drink, you can enjoy this quite early. Drink from 2025-2047.

Jane Anson, April 2022, Score: 92
Bright plum in colour, this is skilfully expressed, austere but present red cherry and blackberry fruits, strict tannic structure that opens through the mid palate to allow some juice and sandalwood smoke to run through the fruit. This has less of the exuberant depths that we have seen in Langoa in recent vintages, a little more old school overall, but will age, and has appellation signature. 60% new oak. Technical director François Brehant, consultant Eric Boissenot.
Producer
Château Langoa Barton
This château is owned by the Barton family (with Léoville Barton). Serving as a home and a winecellar, Langoa took its name from "gué" an old French word for the small stream that flows at thesouthern end of the property. Unlike the classical style of its stable mate, Langoa tends to be more approachable and flattering at a young age with fleshy fruit and textured tannins.
Region
St Julien
St Julien is like the middle child of the Médoc - not as assertive as Pauillac or as coquettish as Margaux. It lies firmly between the two more outspoken communes and as a result produces a blend of them both. St Julien's wines have often been sought out by aficionados for their balance and consistency, particularly in the UK. Yet due to its middle child nature, it can occasionally be overlooked globally and as a result underrated by those markets outside the UK. Despite the fact that it has no first growths, it has several second growths including Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton, Léoville Poyferré and Ducru Beaucaillou as well as the celebrated châteaux such as Talbot and Beychevelle.
