The Barton family’s passion for wine is reflected in the elegance and consistency of Château Léoville Barton. This estate was classified as a 2nd Grand Cru Classé in 1855 and lies within the iconic terroir of Saint Julien in the Médoc. The 50-hectare vineyard of Leoville Barton is situated in the Saint Julien appellation on the left bank of the Gironde estuary.
We were thrilled to host Damien Barton Sartorius as our 2023 Guest of Honor. He is part of the 10th generation in the Barton wine dynasty that began in 1725, when Thomas Barton, a native of Ireland, landed on the quays of Bordeaux. Along with his sister Mélanie Barton-Sartorius they are proud to be the next generation of this tight-knit family business.
