Chateau Langoa-Barton (archaically named Pontet Langlois) is a winery in the Saint-Julien appellation of the Bordeaux region of France. The wine produced here was classified as one of fourteen Troisiemes Crus (Third Growths) in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
Chateau Langoa-Barton was purchased in 1821 by the Anglo-Irishman Hugh Barton, a brother of General Charles Barton, and has remained in the Barton family since then. In 1983, Anthony Barton took over the ownership and administration of the estate. He has since passed this onto his daughter Lilian and her family.
Located in the centre of the appellation along the banks of the Gironde river, Langoa-Barton has roughly 18 hectares under vine. The plantings are divided as follows: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. Typical of the area, the soil composition of the vineyard is composed of a gravel topsoil over a clay sub-stratum.
Chateau Langoa-Barton shares its cellar with its sibling Chateau Leoville-Barton, and though the red wines share similar upbringing in the cellar, Langoa-Barton generally ends up as the lighter style of the two. About 7,000 cases of Chateau Langoa-Barton are produced in an average vintage. There is a second wine called La Reserve de Langoa.
