Barton & Guestier, established in 1725 by Irish merchant Thomas Barton and later partnered with Daniel Guestier in 1802, represents one of France's oldest active négociant houses. While historically rooted in Bordeaux, B&G applies its centuries of blending expertise to the legendary terroirs of Burgundy. This Pinot Noir-based red Burgundy showcases the classic elegance of the region, sourced from clay and limestone soils that impart a signature mineral undertone. Fermented in stainless steel and partially aged in oak to preserve the vibrant red fruit character, this wine captures the delicate, approachable side of Burgundy. It weaves a historical bridge between Bordeaux merchant tradition and the sacred, monastic heritage of Burgundy's Pinot Noir vineyards.
