2018 Château Langoa Barton 6 Pack

The Barton dynasty, a fascinating story What makes the history of the Barton family so fascinating is how each generation has left its mark and added its stone to this exceptional heritage. Settled in Bordeaux since 1722, the Barton family is one of the only families left in the Médoc that is still at the head of its properties since the 1855 classification. Lilian Barton-Sartorius, the worthy successor of her father, Anthony Barton, now manages the three estates: Château Léoville Barton (2nd Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Julien), Langoa Barton (3ème Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Julien) and Mauvesin Barton (Moulis en Médoc). Her children, Mélanie and Damien, representing the 10th generation, are involved in the development of the family properties, thus keeping this remarkable legacy alive. Château Langoa Barton, the first wine estate of the family Saint Julien is where the roots and the heart of the Barton spirit can be felt. The love story between the appellation and the Barton family began in 1821 when Hugh Barton purchased Château Langoa Barton. Since then, generation upon generation, the Barton family has been writting the chapters of this 3rd Grand Cru Classé in 1855. The vines that make up the Château Langoa Barton terroir overlook the river and thus benefit from the natural protection of this thermal regulator. The mild temperatures due to this proximity imply early ripening, which is often a sign of good quality. The 20 hectares (49 acres) of Château Langoa Barton are planted on a magnificent outcrop of quaternary gravel lying on clay subsoil. This terroir gives pride of place to Cabernet-Sauvignon, along with Merlot and Cabernet franc.
