Château Léoville Barton
The grand estate is the smallest of the three Léoville properties, which were a single estate until the 18th century. Léovillewas split after the Marquis de la Cases had to flee before the French Revolution. Léoville Barton was founded in 1821 and gets the second part of its name from the Irish-descended Barton family, who left Ireland in 1722 to establish a wine trade in Bordeaux. The Barton family still owns the estate, as well as the neighboring estate Langoa-Barton, also in St. Julien. By the way, the Léoville wines are vinified at Langoa, strictly separated, of course.
This 2ème Cru lies along the famous Route du Vin and cultivates 46 hectares of vineyards. Merlot makes up only 20% of the plantings here.
A wine recommendation from us: 1990 Léoville Barton. Always reliable, classically Left Bank Bordeaux, and great value for the price. 93 May points.
St. Julien
The smallest appellation among the Médoc’s most famous, covering just 900 hectares, may not boast a Premier Cru, but it is home to exceptional 2ème, 3ème, and 4ème Crus—the very best of which we proudly offer in our selection.
Anyone who has ever driven past the majestic Léoville estates might never want to leave. It is believed that in the 18th century, the stunning Léoville estate was the largest in all of Médoc before it was divided into the three renowned wineries we know today. Since the 1980s, St. Julien has offered unmatched consistency in quality, which we deeply admire. We equally appreciate its subtlety, balance, and strong sense of tradition.
There are many wines we love from St. Julien:
- The 2ème Cru Château Léoville-Las Cases, known for its precise structure and complex aromas
- Château Léoville-Poyferré, the most fruit-driven of the Léoville estates
- Château Talbot, whose gentle wildness has always fascinated us.
