Château Léoville Barton
A second growth of 1855 in Saint-Julien, Léoville Barton is the part of the Léoville estate bought in 1826 by Hugh Barton, an Irish merchant settled in Bordeaux, and still held by his family. The wine is made in the cellars of Château Langoa Barton, the neighbouring third growth belonging to the same family: Léoville Barton is a vineyard without a château.
