Château Léoville Barton

The two St. Julien properties have the longest continuous duration of ownership by the same family of any of the other current proprietors in Bordeaux.

Léoville Barton's 116 acres (47 ha) vineyard is located in the central part of the appellation along the Gironde river.

[3] Two red wines are produced from the vineyards of Château Léoville Barton, an eponymous grand-vin, and a second wine called La Reserve de Léoville Barton which is produced from lots consisting of younger vines or lots deemed lacking the quality of the grand-vin.

After a hand-picked harvest, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled wood vats for two to three weeks before being transferred into oak barrels (50% of which are new) for aging before bottling.

In June 2015, the Château partnered with Irish Distillers Midleton Distillery and Dublin-based Wine and Whiskey Merchants Mitchell and Son to create a Bordeaux wine finished expression of the iconic Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.
