The new Barde-Haut is planted to 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Most of the vineyard is on well-drained, hillside, beautiful, slope. The vines are on average 35 years old.
The best vintages of Chateau Barde Haut are:2019,2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2001 and 2000.
Malolactic fermentation and maturation is performed in French oak barrels, mostly new. The wine is aged on its lees for a portion of time, during the barrel aging process. The wine is aged in 80% to 100% new oak barrels for about 18 months. The amount of new oak varies, depending on the vintage.
A young red with blackberry, chocolate and walnut character that follows through to a medium to full body with creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Subtle in the end.
