Château Barde-Haut 2015

Un vin rouge de Saint-Emilion équilibré et subtil

Le Château Barde Haut 2015 est un sublime mélange de 80% de merlot et de 20% de cabernet franc. Il offre un magnifique bouquet, très bien défini et constitué de notes de cerises noires, de cassis et une pointe d'influence marine très subtile. Sa bouche est très bien équilibrée avec des tanins relativement fins et légèrement acides. Le Château Barde Haut possède une très bonne tension et une belle nervosité qui lui confèrent une finale pure et sensuelle. Ce vin d'appellation Saint-Emilion est long et tendre. 

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2015 Château Barde-Haut was harvested from September 17 until October 1, a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (the latter figure will increase from 2017 with new plantings.) There is no SO2 used during fermentation, just a little after the malolactic, especially the lots in barrel, the part in tank with almost no SO2. The alcohol level is 14%, which is still less than in the past, with a pH of 3.45 to 3.55. It has a wonderful bouquet, extremely well defined with black cherries, cassis and a subtle marine influence - one of the best that I have tasted from this estate. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, a keen thread of acidity, very good tension and nervosité right to the pure and caressing finish. Think of it as the elder sister of Poesia. Long and tender, this will hopefully replicate this strong performance in barrel.
