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.

A silky, textural and harmonious red with notes of dark cherries, fresh blackberries, dried thyme, currants and some mild spices. It's medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Elegant and graceful, silky and bright. Fresh center palate with plenty of vitality and a caressing texture. Precise and harmonious with a pure expression of fruit at the center and a vibrant, spicy finish. Drink or hold.
The 2021 Léoville-Barton is a gorgeous, classically built Saint-Julien. Graphite, leather, blue-toned fruit, spice, tobacco, licorice and lavender are immediately alluring. Medium in body and vibrant, the 2021 exudes finesse from start to finish.
The 2021 Léoville Barton has turned out beautifully in bottle, wafting from the glass with notes of cassis and plums mingled with subtle hints of pencil shavings, menthol and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, it's layered and refined, built around lively acids and a chassis of sweet, powdery tannin that will reward some bottle age with greater plenitude. It's a real success. 94+
