在波爾多左岸的St-Julien村有三家名字冠有Léoville的酒莊，因為它們在17到18世紀一度是隸屬於同一個地主的莊園，後來隨著繼承的分割而逐漸形成三家酒莊，其中Léoville-Barton在1826年被來自愛爾蘭的Barton家族買下。一位愛爾蘭青年Thomas Barton在1722年離鄉背井來到法國，後來創立了自己的葡萄酒公司，之後他的家族一直經營葡萄酒生意做得非常成功，在十九世紀上半接連買下了Langoa Barton和Léoville-Barton，並持續經營至今。Léoville-Barton在1855年的頂級酒莊分級中，榮獲二級酒莊的高度評價。
Léoville-Barton的葡萄園是位於Gironde河岸邊的優異位置。表層土壤是典型的礫石土，因此種植的葡萄亦是高比例的72 % Cabernet Sauvignon，其他是20 Merlot 和8 % Cabernet Franc；從這樣的比例可以得知，Léoville-Barton是典型的耐久存的St-Julien紅酒。現在本酒莊當家的是第9任莊主Lilian Barton Sartorius女士；從她的父親Anthony Barton在1983年接手管理之後，本酒莊品質已經明顯地提升許多；雖說比起Léoville-Las Cases和Léoville-Poyferré，Léoville-Barton顯得頗為低調，但是本酒莊表現相當不凡而且很穩定，更重要的是價格都維持在很平實的水準，是識貨的行家們在St-Julien頂級紅酒裡的好選擇。

Like its stablemate Langoa Barton, the 2019 Léoville Barton is a timeless classic, made for patient connoisseurs. Offering up aromas of blackcurrants, plums, pencil shavings and licorice, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, its deep core of fruit framed by a chassis of rich, powdery tannin that makes itself felt on the youthfully firm finish. While it's clearly built for the long haul, its structural seamlessness and mid-palate plenitude mark it out as one of the finest wines from this château in recent times. Could it be a more concentrated modern-day version of Anthony Barton's brilliant 1985?
This great Médoc second growth has been on a qualitative roll in recent vintages, and the estate's brand new winery and chai, equipped with smaller fermentation vats to permit more precise parcel-by-parcel selection, will surely see Léoville and Langoa Barton hit even greater heights. The 2019 vintage, however, made in the old winery, has turned out superbly, uniting the Barton family's signature Cabernet-driven classicism with all the fleshy, perfumed charm of the vintage. In the vineyards, a steadily increasing percentage is farmed organically, and the old manual methods are perpetuated (tying the vines to their supporting stakes using osier instead of string; removing lateral shoots by hand, etc.). As proprietors of much of the appellation's woodland, the Barton family have always been in the forefront of newly fashionable "agroforestry." And period replanting increasingly aims to adapt grape variety to soil type, the heart of Léoville-Barton being of course Cabernet Sauvignon growing on the superbly situated quaternary gravel soils of Saint-Julien. In the cellar, barrels are largely supplied by Nadalié, Maury and Taransaud, and racking is traditional. A comparatively large percentage of press wine lends backbone and classic grip to the assemblage.
