Château Léoville Barton

About the Winery

While Irishman Thomas Barton established his wine trading business in Bordeaux in 1725, it was only in 1821 that his grandson Hugh acquired Château Langoa, then in 1826 a part of the former Léoville domaine, a property born at the beginning of the 17th century that was divided during the Revolution. The domain has remained in the Barton family since then: Lilian Barton-Sartorius since 2006, following the late Anthony Barton who passed away in 2022. The approximately 50 hectares of vines extend south of Saint-Julien village. There is no residence or chai here; vinification and aging take place at Langoa. The wine is a classic Saint-Julien blend of approximately 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc, aged in French oak barrels.

“A Second Growth estate in Saint-Julien that has remained in the Barton family since 1826, with 50 hectares of vines producing classic Médoc wines.”
