Details

A true emblem of the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Léoville Barton represents the quintessence of the Médoc with wines that shine through their consistency and class, appealing to the most discerning Bordeaux connoisseurs.

This 1855 Second Grand Cru Classé illustrates the passion of the Barton family, who devoted themselves with energy and ambition to making this superb Left Bank property a flagship of the Saint-Julien appellation.

True to the principle that great terroirs overlook the water, Château Léoville Barton oversees a 50-hectare vineyard located in the immediate vicinity of the Gironde River, planted on clayey gravel soil. The grape varieties illustrate the typical Médoc style, with a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon (74%), supplemented by 23% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.

From the vineyard to the winery, Château Léoville-Barton shines with its impeccable excellence, demonstrating a perfect mastery of expertise and tradition, enhanced by just the right dose of innovative modernism for a contemporary taste.

Both the estate's Grand Vin, Château Léoville Barton, and its Second Vin, La Réserve de Léoville Barton, guarantee you'll discover the best of the Saint-Julien appellation.

Always imbued with the immense class that characterizes Grands Crus, the wines of Château Léoville Barton display the house's signature style: a subtle blend of elegance and perfectly controlled power. Léoville Barton represents the nobility of Médoc classicism in its purest form.
