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.

Retains signature character and architecture, combined with a come-hither ripeness that is all about the 2022 vintage. A brilliant wine, luscious and supple with cassis and bilberry, damson and black cherry along with cocoa bean and mandarin. Delivers confidence and ageability. The Barton family continue to make this wine unmissable.
Cassis, graphite, smoky tobacco, violets, and a wonderful sense of minerality all emerge from the 2022 Château Léoville Barton, a riveting Saint-Julien that shows the style of this estate while bringing the richness and depth of the vintage. Full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful, it has enough tannins to warrant a decade of cellaring and will have 30+ years of prime drinking. I’d put this up with the finest Léoville Barton I’ve tasted, as well as with the truly greats of the vintage.
The 2022 Léoville Barton is performing brilliantly in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, pen ink, cigar box and spices. Medium to full-bodied, suave and velvety, it's dense and concentrated, with terrific energy and persistence. As readers will remember, it's the first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, which more than doubled the number of vats, permitting sub-plot by sub-plot harvesting and vinification, along with a number of other technical improvements that translate into enhanced purity and precision.
