Winemaker and vineyard : The Léoville Barton terroir is located on one of the finest gravelly slopes in the Garonne, facing the Gironde, in the heart of the Saint Julien appellation in the Médoc, 40 km north of Bordeaux. The different heights of gravel left by the river characterise the terroir of Léoville Barton, which, combined with the history and people who have shaped it, has produced one of the greatest red wines in the world. The clay-gravel subsoil is a perfect regulator of the vagaries of the year's climate. https://www.leoville-barton.com
Tasting : This well-made, complete St.-Julien possesses a dense purple color as well as surprisingly soft tannins for this wine which tends to be jacked up with a lot of structure, masculinity and muscle in most vintages. The 2012 offers attractive cedary, black currant fruit and vanilla notes, and a medium-bodied, denser mid-palate than many of its peers’. The tannins are noticeable in the finish, so give this wine 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades as it will be one of the longer lived wines of the vintage. robertparker.com (25.04.2013)
Service : Serve it at a room temperature of 16-18°C to accompany hard cheeses.

Superbly refined, seriously elegant.
Château Bréhat is a wine of character, full-bodied with a fine tannic structure.
The palate is succulently supple, sublime and harmonious. Shiveringly long, to die for.
Medium to full-bodied, the palate is bursting with juicy black fruit flavours, framed by accessible, ripe, grainy tannins, finishing pleasantly earthy.
Cherry red color, nose: basket of black berries, palate: melted tannins, harmonious, fruity, very accessible.
Medium-bodied, the palate reveals surprising energy, a finely grained texture, and finishes on a lingering mineral note.
Silky, refined Pomerol Merlot with plum, violet and cocoa notes, aged in new oak, combining roundness, balance and a long elegant finish.
Robe of intense red colour, dark red shimmering with time. Forest fruit aromas on the nose, especially blueberry and sour cherry. Firm structure with fine tannins.
Generous, well rounded, very well vinified, complexe, quite long-lating taste. Lagrange sophisticatedly modernized.
