Château Léoville Barton

Chateau Leoville Barton is a Second Growth Bordeaux wine produced in the St. Julien appellation. The 51-hectare St. Julien vineyard is planted with 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. 

The terroir is mostly gravel with a subsoil of clay. The vines are located on both sides of the D2 road and have an average of 30 years of age, with some parcels having much older vines. The vines are situated north of Langoa Barton, and just west of the chateau. Those parcels enjoy a warmer terroir with more access to direct sunlight. 

The wine is traditionally made with vinification taking place in large, 200-hectoliter wooden vats. They range in age with the oldest vats dating back to 1963. The wine of Chateau Leoville Barton is aged in an average of 50% new, French oak barrels for about 20 months before bottling.
