I 1826 købte Hugh Barton, der i forvejen ejede Langoa Barton, et stykke af den tidligere enorme Léoville-ejendom, der var blevet delt i kølvandet af den franske revolution. Denne ejendom blev til Léoville Barton. Og det er stadigvæk den dag i dag familien Barton, som ejer markerne. Dermed er Léoville Barton en af de største familie-ejede ejendomme på hele Médochalvøen.
Der produceres årlige i gennemsnit omkring 300.000 flasker på de 50 hektar vinmarker, der er beliggende lige i midten af appellationen. Vinen lagres altid i minimum 18 måneder på egefade, hvor 60 % hvert år fornys.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Léoville Barton charges out of the gate with bold notions of baked plums, crème de cassis and blueberry preserves plus wafts of pencil shavings, fragrant earth and cedar chest. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruit preserves with compelling herbal sparks and a firm, grainy texture, finishing long and lively. Drinking Window : 2023 - 2048
Léoville-Barton is one of the very few wines, from any appellation, that combines power and finesse with such grace in 2017. Rich, deep and wonderfully expressive, the 2017 has so much offer. The high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon comes through loud and clear. Inky dark, fruit, game, spice, mint, licorice and lavender all build in a wine of regal elegance and head spinning beauty. For its combination of quality and price, Léoville-Barton remains one the most consumer-friendly wines of the Left Bank. The blend is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot. The September rains were especially challenging for the Merlot and Cabernet Franc. As a result, Cabernet is pushed up in the blend, while there is no Franc at all.
Packed with ripe, lively plum, blackberry and black currant fruit, backed by melted black licorice and bramble accents throughout, this retains a sense of polish despite the energetic fruit and structure. Ends with an encore of warm plum reduction. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2037. 10,833 cases made.
