Description

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Saint-Julien

Château Léoville has been family-owned since the 18th century and is now managed by ninth-generation oenologist Lilian Barton Sartorius. The vineyard is located in the heart of the Saint-Julien terroir, on one of the most beautiful gravel hills overlooking the Garonne and the Gironde. There is a high proportion of old vines of the traditional Médoc grape varieties. The winemaker places enormous importance on the terroir of the 50-hectare vineyard. She produces a true Saint-Julien of great finesse and perfect balance. Unusually, there is no château at the Léoville Barton estate – the wines are produced at the sister estate Langoa Barton, which is also depicted on the label.

In Portrait:

Château Léoville Barton

Château Léoville Barton is a traditional estate in Saint-Julien, whose vines stand on deep Günz gravel over sandy-loamy subsoil – ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The family-run estate (Barton family) focuses on precise parcel work, selective hand harvesting and classic Bordeaux vinification with measured ageing in French oak. Stylistically, Léoville Barton embodies the noble, straight-lined signature of Saint-Julien.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
