2025 Chateau Barde-Haut Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2025 Barde-Haut is a powerful and resonant. Macerated dark cherry, spice, new leather, cedar and menthol confer tons of intensity. Broad and ample, with notable textural intensity, Barde-Haut is a highly representative wine from Saint-Émilion's Saint Christophe des Bardes sector. This builds beautifully with a bit of time in the glass. Drink 2030-2045.

The 2025 Barde-Haut was picked at around 35 hl/ha between September 13 and 17. This has a fragrant bouquet with raspberry and crushed strawberry scents, which becomes just a tad darker as it aerates, hints of violet and cassis emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, quite plush yet balanced in style, touches of white pepper and graphite towards the elegant, pastille-like finish. This is a promising Barde-Haut that will require just three or four years in bottle. Drink 2030-2050.

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Barde-Haut has beautiful notes of ripe black fruits, sappy flowers, tobacco, and chocolate on the nose. On the palate, it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with a deep, layered mouthfeel and a great finish. Checking in at 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.45, from healthy yields, this is a seriously impressive Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé that's well worth your time and money.

Flowers and plums fill the perfume. On the palate, the wine is vibrant, juicy, fresh, long, and packed with ripe, sweet, black cherries, chocolate, oceanic influences, mint, and licorice. The finish has great energy, with flesh and length. Clearly, this is one of the best vintages of Barde Haut ever produced. The wine blends 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. 14% ABV, 3.45. Harvesting took place September 13 - September 17. Yields were 35 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2029 - 2055.
