On the 11th of May 2023, we have seen the release of Langoa Barton and Leoville Barton.

Chateau Langoa Barton 2022

On the 11th May 2023, we now see the release of the third growth wine Langoa Barton from Saint Julien, and the price is up 15.6% on last years release. The ex negociant price is 34 Euro a bottle. The wine is being offered at a premium in the international trade at £428 per case of 12 bottles at 75cl each according to Liv-ex, which equates to an increase of 21% on the opening price of the 2021's. It is worth noting here that the production for this years en primeur is down by 30% compared to the previous year.

At this price, back vintages will offer stronger value, and for more recent years you may want to consider the 2019 & 2020 vintages.

So far the scores have not been released by Neal Martin (Vinous), however, what we are able to review here are some of the scores taken from Liv-Ex as shown below:
