✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1725 by Irish merchant Thomas Barton, Barton & Guestier is the oldest active wine house in Bordeaux, carrying nearly three centuries of history. Their Bordeaux Blanc is a classic expression of the region's white winemaking tradition, typically crafted from a traditional blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. The Sauvignon Blanc provides vibrant acidity, fresh citrus, and herbaceous notes, while the Sémillon contributes body, texture, and delicate floral undertones. Sourced from diverse clay-limestone vineyards across Bordeaux, the grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their crisp, fruit-forward character, avoiding oak contact to maintain a clean, refreshing profile that honors the natural terroir.
