✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Established in 1725 by Irish merchant Thomas Barton, and later joined by French partner Daniel Guestier in 1802, Barton & Guestier stands as the oldest active wine house in Bordeaux. This classic Bordeaux Rouge represents their historic mission to introduce the elegant style of Bordeaux to the world. Crafted primarily from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from select vineyards across the appellation, this wine benefits from the region's diverse clay, limestone, and gravel soils. Vinified traditionally in stainless steel to emphasize fresh fruit character and supple tannins, it offers a harmonious profile of red berries, plum, and subtle herbaceous notes, reflecting centuries of blending expertise.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Barton & Guestier blev grundlagt i 1725 af ireren Thomas Barton, og da den franske købmand Daniel Guestier trådte til i 1802, var grundlaget lagt for det, der i dag er Bordeaux' ældste vinhus. Négociant-huset har hovedsæde på det historiske Château Magnol i Blanquefort og arbejder tæt sammen med hundredvis af passionerede vinbønder. Formålet er at fremhæve den store mangfoldighed i Frankrigs ypperste terroirs – fra Bordeaux og Bourgogne til Rhônedalen og Pays d'Oc. Barton & Guestier er kendt for sine kompromisløse kvalitetskrav og en imødekommende stil, og huset fremstiller et alsidigt udvalg af udtryksfulde rød-, hvid- og rosévine samt mousserende vine, der alle hylder den klassiske franske vinarv.
