Tasting note

這款2019年的巴頓呈現典型聖朱利安風格：深沉的黑櫻桃與黑莓香，伴隨些許摩卡、濃縮咖啡和花香。入口飽滿有力，但不失優雅，單寧精緻且絲滑，口感紮實且帶有礦物感，餘韻綿長。生產上堅持手工採收與嚴格分級挑選，發酵於控溫木槽中，浸皮約三週，隨後分批進入法國橡木桶陳釀約18個月。葡萄園位於面向吉倫德河的砂礫小丘，黏土礫石下層能在乾溼年景間穩定成熟度，採用傳統耕作且不使用除草劑。建議若即刻飲用先醒酒一小時以上，或入窖數年以換取更多層次。配餐推薦烤紅肉或成熟硬質乳酪，能襯出酒的結構與風味延展。

This 2019 from Leoville Barton is a concentrated, classically built Saint-Julien with an expressive nose of black cherry, blackberry, violet and a suggestion of mocha and pencil lead. On the palate it is powerful and fleshy yet refined — velvet-like texture framed by precise, silky tannins and a mineral thread that keeps the wine focused. The structure is impressive without heaviness, with spice and espresso notes emerging through a long, persistent finish. Producer notes: a Deuxième Cru Classé with generational stewardship under the Barton family, the estate consistently produces benchmark wines that marry power with nobility. Ownership: Lilian Barton. Winemaking: Hand-harvested, fully destemmed and carefully sorted, grapes are fermented in thermo-regulated wooden vats with a 7–10 day alcoholic fermentation and roughly three weeks maceration. Extraction is measured to respect the juice; each parcel moves to barrel separately. The wine sees about 18 months in French oak. Vineyard: Located on one of Saint-Julien’s prominent Garonne-gravel hilltops facing the Gironde, the clay-gravel subsoils modulate water and ripening. Traditional ploughing is practiced; no weeding or herbicides are used. The result is concentration, mineral clarity and age-worthiness. Drinkability window: now for those who decant, best development through 2025–2069.
