Leoville Barton

Chateau Leoville Barton is one of the most respected Second Growth estates in Bordeaux with a rich history dating back to 1826 when it was acquired by the Barton family—making it one of the few Bordeaux estates still in the hands of its founding family. The estate has built a reputation for producing classically styled, long-lived Saint Julien wines that embody the structure and restraint typical of the appellation. Originally part of the Leoville estate until it was divided into three, the 50-hectare vineyard sits on deep gravel soils. Leoville Barton is known for its consistent quality, traditional winemaking approach, and impressive value relative to its quality & Second Growth status. Recent standout vintages include 2010, 2016, 2019, and 2022, which stand out for their balance, depth, and ageworthy character. Today, the estate is managed by Damien Barton, continuing the family legacy into the tenth generation. The estate's second wine, La Reserve de Leoville Barton, is a great value and a drinking favourite.
