Since then the property has remained in the family and today, Anthony Barton's daughter, Lilian Barton Sartorius manages the properties and the wine merchant company. Her two children Mélanie and Damien, both involved in the family history represent the 10th generation. The vineyard of Langoa Barton is situated at the south of the appellation Saint Julien and the style of the wine is described as typical Saint Julien.
