Château Barde-Haut 2009 is a full-bodied, Merlot-based red wine from the St-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. 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. "Made from tiny yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare (May hail damage resulted in this small crop), the opaque purple-coloured 2009 reveals an extraordinary nose of mulberries, black cherries, charcoal, barbecue smoke and forest floor. Rich, full-bodied and opulent with silky tannins as well as a broad, unctuous texture, this beauty can be enjoyed now and over the next 15+ years. It is fashioned from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc." Wine Advocate, 2012

Vinous
The 2009 Barde-Haut has a well defined, more mineral-driven bouquet with vibrant black fruit, black plum and raspberry coulis, orange blossom and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with very fleshy tannins, smooth and slightly savory with hints of dried blood and quite irony towards the finish. One of the most Pomerol-inspired Barde Haut’s that is à point. Tasted at the Barde-Haut vertical at the château. - Neil Martin
