Château Barde Haut - G.C.C. | St. Emilion G.C.
Red wine | France, ST. EMILION
A good drop of damson and black cherry fruits right up front, and holds its line while the more austere tannins come in towards the finish. Expertly extracted, self-contained right now, firm fruits that don't dip through the mid palate alongside a glossy wash of liquorice, black chocolate, sage and anis. This is clearly going to age well. 60% new oak for ageing.

About Ch. Barde Haut
Owned by Sylviane Garcin-Cathiard since September 2000. The Bard-Haut chateau covers an area of ??17 hectares and is located in the extreme east of the town of Saint-Emilion, at the end of the plateau. The vineyards form a southern-oriented amphitheater in the Dordogne valley. Substantial investments were made in 2002 to make it possible to work with gravity in order to meet the costly harvest of the castle.
