Château Léoville Barton- The Jewel of Saint-Julien – Wednesday April 13th
We are delighted to welcome Damien Barton-Sartorious to the St. James’s Room for the first of a special series of Masterclasses exploring the wines and history of the esteemed Châteaux Léoville Barton, Langoa-Barton, and Mauvesin-Barton estates.
The Barton family arrived in France from Ireland in 1722 and their properties, are some of the most loved and sought-after wines of Bordeaux, renowned for their classic elegance.
The first Masterclass will take place on April 13th, a vertical of eight vintages of Château Léoville Barton, 2nd growth Grand Cru Classé, Saint-Julien.
The estate, consisting of 50 hectares of vines, was bought by Hugh Barton in 1826, and the vineyard is planted to 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.
Château Léoville Barton famously has no château, and the picture on the label is in fact of its sister property, Château Langoa-Barton.
Damien’s grandfather, the late Anthony Barton, raised the property’s level of international recognition, and today his daughter Lilian and her son Damien and sister Melanie continue upholding his legacy.
Damien will be returning to present Château Mauvesin-Barton in October and Château Langoa-Barton in December. These are three dates no wine lover can afford to miss.
The wines we will be tasting:
Château Léoville Barton 1994
Château Léoville Barton 1999
Château Léoville Barton 2000
Château Léoville Barton 2004
