Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, wet earth and black tea. Full-bodied, dense and layered with medium, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows focus and power. Needs three or four years to start coming together.
by James Suckling, JS, 2018.
A restrained style, with a core of damson plum, raspberry and cassis flavors held in check for now by fine-grained cedar, sanguine and iron hints. There’s racy acidity running underneath and a long, focused finish, so cellar this to let the two sides meld fully.
by Wine Spectator, JM, 2018.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Barde-Haut gives up notions of plum preserves, potpourri and baked cherries with underlying Chinese five spice and cigar box hints. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm backbone of grainy tannins and background freshness supporting the spicy black fruits, finishing on a lingering earthy note.

Saint Emilion Grande Cru Classe Size 750ML
Our wines are above all the story of an encounter. The encounter between Patrice Lévèque, an impassioned winegrower, and his wife, Hélène Garcin. Patrice rarely leaves his vineyard, which receives his constant attention. As if it were one of his children, he cannot imagine being away for too long, because, as he says himself: “If it rains, if it freezes, or if there is a heatwave, my vines have no choice but to endure it. If I want to do my job properly, then I have to stay with them, whatever the conditions”.
While this man of the soil has the means to create a great Saint Emilion and a great Pomerol, what he likes most of all is when his wine is enjoyed. The tremendous care taken to enable the terroir to offer a masterpiece would be in vain if Hélène, his wife, did not devote all her energy to presenting it to the public. This complementary union, this natural harmony, is not unlike that between the elements of this exceptional terroir.
A story in which the setting and the characters take turns in playing from the same score, that ultimately delivers its message in the fleeting moment when the wine is tasted.
