I loved the 2009 Château Barde-Haut. (This vintage always seems to rank in the top tier in any retrospective I do.) Still ruby/purple-hued with a huge nose of blackcurrants, black cherries, unsmoked tobacco, toasted...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2012

Made from tiny yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare (May hail damage resulted in this small crop) the opaque purple-colored 2009 reveals an extraordinary nose of mulberries black cherries charcoal barbecue smoke and...

Wine Spectator, March 2012

This shows a lightly roasted edge leading to coffee and warm blackberry confiture flavors followed by slightly jammy plum and black cherry cobbler notes. The lush finish picks up definition though with a nice singed apple...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, September 2019

Loads of smoke, espresso, truffle, wet earth and ripe cherries are there for the taking. Soft, round, polished and open, this is really showing great today. And when the oak further integrates, the wine will be even...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, January 2013

Deep color. Initially restrained nose, but it opens nicely to reveal ripe cherry and raspberry scents with vanilla. Sweet on entry, with tongue-lashing tannins. This concentrated wine could be the richest, most complex...

Chateau Barde-Haut is a 17-hectare estate located at the extreme east of the village of Saint-Emilion with its vineyard forming a natural amphitheater with a southern exposure. The soil is very typical of Saint-Emilion, mainly composed of clay which on a layer of chalk.

The property was bought in 2000 by Sylviane Garcin-Cathiard, whose family also owns Clos L’Eglise in Pomerol, Chateau Haut-Bergey and Chateau Branon in Pessac Leognan. Significant investments have been made in the cellar and all work is done by gravity to ensure the grapes are well respected.

Chateau Barde-Haut was promoted to Grand Cru Classe in the 2012 classification of Saint-Emilion wine and is one of the rising stars of Saint-Emilion.

Chateau Barde-Haut is a blend of Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) from vines with an average age of 35 years. Fermentation takes place in a combination of wooden vats, concrete vats and stainless steel tanks. The vines are hand-picked and aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
