Producer Information

Since 1821, the Barton family has been writing the chapters in the history of Château Langoa Barton in Bordeaux. Granted Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it is in Saint-Julien that are the roots and the heart of Barton's soul. For Château Langoa Barton, the meaning of the word terroir goes well beyond its initial definition, which is the soil. The notions of climate, topology and geology must be associated with it. The plots that make up the terroir of Château Langoa Barton face the river. The mild temperatures resulting from this proximity implies an early maturity that is often a guarantee of quality. This magnificent quaternary gravel hillside brings each vintage to maturity, and then the grapes are ruthlessly selected to make Langoa Barton.
