Technique

Viticulture

Located in the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation, the château has been in the same family since 1826. The estate is now presided over by Lilian Barton-Sartorius alongside his father, Anthony Barton. The terroir, consisting mainly of a combination of a thick layer of quaternary gravel and clay in the subsoil, is ideal for the Medoc grape varieties.

Oenology

The vinification is done at the Château de Langoa Barton. Fermentation in wooden vats with temperature control, pumping over and maceration for 2 weeks. The wine is aged for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, 60% of which are new.
