Léoville-Barton did not have any attached cru (such as Potensac and Léoville-Las Cases, Pibran and Pichon-Baron, etc.). This "gap" was filled in 2011 with the acquisition of a beautiful historical cru bourgeois de Moulis, Mauvesin, immediately renamed Mauvesin-Barton to show the Barton family's involvement in this new challenge. In all confidence!

In the shadow of its older brother (Léoville-Barton), Langoa-Barton with a vineyard of barely 17 ha is the smallest and least known of the classified growths of Saint-Julien. Nevertheless, it offers the elegant and graceful fruitiness of Saint-Julien with a remarkable capacity for ageing. And a very reasonable price!
The 2021 vintage is rated 93/100 by the Revue du Vin de France “The wine, true to its style, is delicious, melted and refined, with silky tannins.” (September 2024)

The 2018 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 96/100 “The 2018 Léoville-Barton is a gorgeous, exotic wine. Crème de cassis, lavender, menthol, licorice and clove all escape the glass. The 2018 marries the natural opulence of the year with a fairly classic structure, making it one of the most compelling wines of the year. I'd give it a good decade in the cellar. There's plenty to look forward to. I particularly admire the energy and confidence of this wine.”
Vinous (N. Martin - March 2021): 94/100 “This is excellent Léoville Barton whose drinkable character will appeal to many, although I would give it 4 to 6 years in bottle.”
La Revue du Vin de France (Nov. 2020): 98/100 “It offers undeniable refinement. Its black fruit nose is bewitching and irresistible. The palate is harmonious, refined, silky and the tannins integrate perfectly. Superb balance.”
