200 YEARS IN THE HEART OF ST JULIEN
1722 – Thomas Barton left his native Ireland to settle in Bordeaux, founding few years later a wine merchant
company – that still bears the name Barton today. 1821 – His grandson, Hugh Barton, purchased
Château Langoa, an elegant residence built in 1758. He was seduced by the architecture and its 20 hectares
of vines planted in the Saint-Julien appellation. His passion and pride in his wine were only to grow when
he saw Langoa awarded the rank of “Third Classified Growth” in the historic 1855 classification. 6 generations later, the Barton story continues with
Anthony’s daughter, Lilian, and her two children, now writing the chapter of the 10th generation in Bordeaux.

Winemaking:
The harvesting is done entirely by hand. After the de-stemming, the berries are carefully sorted, crushed and
poured by gravity in wooden vats thermo-regulated, according to their plots. The alcoholic fermentation
lasts from 7 to 10 days and the extraction is always respectful of the juice by adjusting the number of
pumping depending on the cuvées and the vintages. The maceration is about 3 weeks then the juice is
drawn in barrels, lot by lot. The wine is then aged between 16 and 18 months in French oak barrels of
which 60% are brand new, in a cellar maintained at 15°. The wines are topped up 3 times a week to avoid
any contact between the wine and the air, the racking is traditional using the so-called “à l’esquive” method.
