    Product description

    Once part of the Leoville estates (including Leoville Poyferre and Leoville Las Cases), Château Leoville Barton is the smallest portion of the three and has been owned by the Barton family since 1826. The wines are known for offering great quality at reasonable prices, they are elegant and structured and classed amongst the best of St Julien.

    Intense aromas of blackcurrant and blueberry with notes of tobacco and leather. Full bodied with firm tannins and good length.

    Dense ruby/purple, with cassis licorice and forest floors notes in the aromatics, Léoville-Barton’s 2012 is a relatively big, rich, masculine style of wine. This full-bodied wine needs 5-8 years of cellaring and should evolve easily for 25-30 years. Drink: 2023 - 2053

    About the producer: Château Léoville Barton

    Once part of the Leoville estates (including Leoville Poyferre and Leoville Las Cases), Château Leoville Barton is the smallest portion of the three and has been owned by the Barton family since 1826. The wine is made at Langoa Barton, another estate bought by the family at the same time. When Anthony Barton took over the domaine in the mid 80s, the quality of the wine rose and today the grand vin performs as a true 2eme cru classé. Today Lilian, Anthony Barton’s daughter, runs the estate. The wines are known for offering great quality at reasonable prices, they are elegant and structured and classed amongst the best of St Julien. View our selection.

    Vineyard & Winemaking

    The estate spreads over 50 hectares of vines planted with 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. The wine is matured in oak barrels for 18 months, 50% of which is new.

    Wine Produced

    Château Léoville Barton (grand vin) and La Réserve de Léoville Barton (second wine).
