One of the prestigious châteaux of the Barton family, alongside Léoville Barton. This Troisième Grand Cru Classé is characterized by a bouquet blending dark fruits and dried flowers, accompanied by a supple and delicate palate. It remains, nonetheless, a great Bordeaux for laying down.

The Irish Barton family acquired Château Langoa and a portion of the great Léoville estate in 1821. The lack of facilities (cellars, buildings, etc.) on the Léoville portion of the vineyard forced Hugh Barton to vinify at Château Langoa.
Very early on, the differences between the two estates became apparent, despite them sharing the same well-drained gravel terroir resting on a clay-limestone base. It is clear that Langoa is finer and more subtle, while the structure of Léoville allows it to age in a more interesting way.
Anthony Barton took the helm of both châteaux in 1983, an excellent vintage that followed an exceptional one, both of which allowed the Bartons to elevate the great potential of their two estates. Anthony Barton's enthusiasm, along with subtle modifications to the winemaking process, soon allowed these châteaux to achieve the flourishing success we know today.
Today…
Lilian Barton Sartorius, Anthony Barton's daughter, is now at the head of the estate. She is joined by her daughter Mélanie, and both are assisted by François Bréhant, technical director of Langoa Barton and Léoville Barton. The profile of this Third Grand Cru Classé is one of charm, even while it retains the aging potential characteristic of great Saint-Juliens.
