Château Léoville Barton

The property is named after the Anglo-Irish wine merchant Hugh Barton who bought the property
in the year 1821. The property is run today by Lilian Barton Sartorius and her children Melanie and Damien.

The vineyards is planted with 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.
The grapes are harvested manually by hand and fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled wooden barrels, after which the wine is stored in 50% new oak barrels.

The property's Grand Vin is named after the vineyard, whereas their 2nd Wine is called "La
Réserve de Léoville Barton” – this is produced on newer vines and therefore has a lighter quality than their Grand Vin.

Special to Château Léoville Barton is that the property does not have its own castle, but shares
headquarters with their sister property Château Langoa Barton being one of the most iconic Bordeaux castles.
