Chateau Langoa-Barton
Chateau Langoa-Barton
Chateau Langoa Barton was the first of two Bordeaux wine estates bought in Saint-Julien by the Barton family in the 1820s. The Chateau has 20 hectares of vineyards made up of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. The vineyards lie on soil made up of gravelly clay which provides excellent drainage. The wines are vinified and matured in exactly the same way as at Chateau Leoville Barton, but it is the soils and exposure of the vineyards that cause the variations between the wines.
