Appellation:

Haut-Medoc

Description:

Chateau Barreyres 2016 shows a sumptuous deep purple color. Open on the nose with appealing scents of fresh fruit alongside classic features associated with well-managed aging. This is a fine, elegant Cru Bourgeois with a very pleasing profile, including good structure and a full body. The finish is remarkably persistent. 

Tasting Notes:

Deep, dark red with a glimmer of rubies. Very intense, very rich nose of well-ripened blackcurrants and blackberries, noble woods and cocoa, underpinned by toasty oak flavors, add to the complexity, while a touch of pepper creates an even more intriguing nose. The mid-palate is rich, the tannins, sumptuous. Plenty of roundness, admirable flavor, and a blueberry finish.

Harvest Dates:

28th September - 11th October

Blend:

Merlot: 51%

Cabernet Sauvignon: 49%

Food Pairings:

Good cuts of beef, leg of lam, free range chicken, dishes served in sauce and mature cheeses.
