Barton & Guestier "Cuvee Rambaud" Bordeaux

Barton & Guestier Bordeaux Red (Rouge) “Cuvee Rambaud”, is a red wine made in France in the Bordeaux appellation. This cuvee pays tribute to Germain Rambaud, Thomas Barton’s first cellar master. This red wine is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, our king grape varieties. The diversity of the terroirs in the blend allows us to bring balance, complexity, and character to our wine. Additionally, it is important to mention that this wine is made by Florence Tessier, our woman winemaker.

Tasting Notes

Deep purple red. Fruit driven with red and black berries (redcurrant, cherry, and blackcurrant) combined with spicy and minty notes. Good balance with round and velvety tannins and a long fruity and spicy finish.

Vintage Notes

The 2021 growing season in Bordeaux was characterized by a cool and wet spring, which led to a delayed start to the growing season. However, summer temperatures were warm and sunny, which helped to bring the grapes to optimal ripeness. The harvest started later than usual, but the overall quality of the grapes was very good, with excellent sugar and acidity levels.

Winemaking Notes

Controlled extraction – 3 weeks maceration with daily pumping over.
