Château Langoa-Barton

Producer description of "Château Langoa Barton"

The winery is located in the commune of Saint-Julien in the area of the same name in the Médoc (Bordeaux). It was founded in 1821 by Hugh Barton (1766-1854) through the purchase of Château Langoa, which gave it its current name. Finally, in 1826, he also bought a neighbouring part of Château Léoville, which was now called Château Léoville-Barton. Today, Anthony Barton and his daughter Lilian Barton Sartorius are the seventh generation to run the wine estates. Barton is an original personality with numerous anecdotes about him. "A magnum bottle? Just the right size for a nice evening. Provided you start the meal with a champagne and end it with a Sauternes, and you're alone".

The wines from both estates are produced at Langoa-Barton. Château Langoa-Barton was awarded third place in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification (Troisième Grand Cru Classé). The vineyards cover 17 hectares and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (74%), Merlot (20%) and Cabernet Franc (6%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 20 months in 50% new barriques. The second wine is called "Lady Langoa" and is a cuvée of Langoa-Barton and Léoville-Barton.
