Château Baret, Pessac-Léognan AOP, Grand Vin de Graves

This château is under Denis Dubourdieu’s consulting skills and now produces high quality red and white wines at sensible prices. This red is made from 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 53% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc with an average age of 30 years. From one of the “great” years, this is claret at its best – succulently rich and fruity with a dry finish. Recommended for enjoying from now over the next 10 years.

Color: Deep color.
Nose: Very delicate, not too characterized by its ageing in oak barrels and already offering a rich panel.
Palate: Very soft in the mouth and developing into a silky finish. The wine enjoyed a good structuration during its ageing. Suitable for immediate drinking, a rare compromise in Bordeaux.
