andybarton Posted December 25, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Oh well - it's been good while it lasted. Unfortunately, real Leoville-Barton "ready to drink" is a bit out of my pocket range now, but this does make a very acceptable alternative.

andybarton Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted December 25, 2006 The road that runs along the Medoc, from Bordeaux through to the end, is one of my favourite drives anywhere. The chateau at Cos D'Estournel is on my photographic "To Do" (again) list and one could easily spend a week wandering along the road, burning a lot of film Leoville-Barton (made at its Chateau of Langoa-Barton) is a Second Growth St Julien. The proprietor, Anthony Barton, has always made the wines available at prices which, while not exactly cheap, are not at the stratospheric heights of other classified growths. It has been in his family since the 1830s. Château Léoville-Barton We visited in the mid-nineties and had an excellent tour in the hands of a charming French guide. The contrast between the way that this wine is produced and promoted, when compared to a chateau, which we also went to on the same day just down the road, is remarkable.

neila Posted December 31, 2006 Share #4 Posted December 31, 2006 Aaaah! My favourites.... I'm fortunate to have a couple of cases of both Langoa and Leoville yet to drink - a case of Cos D'Estournel too. You're clearly a man of great taste! The reason mine remain un-drunk (by the way) is that I regularly fall into the vintage wine trap - when selecting wines for supper I say "too good" when they are slid out!
