Château Barde-Haut is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé property, currently managed by superstar wine couple, Hélène Garcin-Lévêque and Patrice Lévêque. Situated in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, the estate covers approximately 17 hectares, planted to Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The 2005 vintage suggests some lovely aromas of dark red plums, violets, hints of liquorice and earthy minerality. A medium-bodied palate follows through with sweet red fruit compote, cocoa and savoury hints of mushroom, all complemented by silky tannins.

Vinous
The 2005 Barde-Haut offers deep brambly black fruit on the nose, becoming quite plummy, not intense with a slightly airy element. Hints of cooked meat emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a sharp entry, a little soy here with a bit of rusticity towards the finish. Just a bit stolid now at 16-years of age, yet certainly with the substance to age. I see no problem broaching this now and over the next decade. Tasted at the Barde-Haut vertical at the château.Neal Martin28th June 2022
