Château Léoville Barton is a revered second growth estate in Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, with origins tracing back to the 17th century. Acquired by the Barton family in 1826, it remains one of the few Bordeaux estates to have been passed down through generations without change in ownership. The estate’s timeless wines are celebrated for their powerful and classic style, consistently ranking among the best in the Médoc.
Saint-Julien, nestled on the left bank of Bordeaux, is renowned for producing wines of remarkable harmony and finesse. The appellation benefits from a maritime climate, with the Gironde estuary moderating temperatures and reducing the risk of frost. The gravelly soils of Saint-Julien are particularly suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, which thrives in the region’s well-drained conditions. This area’s wines are prized for their elegance, blending the strength of Pauillac with the refinement of Margaux.
Château Léoville Barton’s 50 hectares of vineyards are planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The gravelly soils, rich in minerals, provide excellent drainage and reflect heat to promote even ripening. A subsoil of clay and limestone adds structure and depth to the wines. This exceptional terroir, combined with the Barton family’s dedication to traditional winemaking, results in wines with a signature balance of power, complexity, and aging potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
En Primeur, also known as "futures," is the opportunity to purchase wines while they are still aging in the producer’s cellar, before they are bottled and released to the public. Buying En Primeur allows you to secure highly sought-after wines at an early stage, often at a better value than post-release pricing.
Purchase: When you purchase En Primeur wines, you are paying only for the cost of the bottles at the time of ordering. Shipping charges, applicable tariffs, and taxes will be billed separately once the wines are ready for delivery to the United States.
Securing Your Wines: Once your order is placed, we immediately work to secure your allocation.
Updates and Confirmation: As the wines prepare for shipment to the U.S., typically around September or October following the vintage release, we will reach out to confirm your shipping information and provide an invoice for any outstanding shipping and tariff fees.
Shipping: After final payment is completed, we will ship your wines to you. Please note that wines will not be shipped until all outstanding balances are paid in full.
Because En Primeur purchases are secured specifically based on your order, cancellations are not permitted after the order is placed. If you have any concerns, please contact us at hello@heritagecellar.com, through the form on our website, or via chat - we're happy to help answer any questions before you complete your order.
While we strive to provide accurate timelines, delays can sometimes occur due to factors beyond our control, such as shipping logistics or regulatory changes. We will keep you updated throughout the process. In the rare event that a wine becomes unavailable, we will offer you the choice to wait, select a substitute of similar style and value, or receive a refund for the cost of the wine.
Shipping is not included in the initial purchase price. Once the wines are ready to ship, we’ll reach out to confirm your details and send a final invoice for any shipping and tariff charges. Nothing ships until all final balances are paid. Usually ships in the fall two (2) years following the vintage.
