Barde-Haut
Chateau Barde-Haut is an over-achieving estate in Saint-Emilion owned by Helene Garcin-Leveque (who also runs Right Bank estates, Clos L’Eglise in Pomerol and Chateau Poesia in St. Emilion). It is well loved for its generous fruit and excellent value. The new modern winery may be in stark to contrast to other Chateau in the area; it is designed to have minimal impact on the environment.

An awesome Saint Emilion, the 2015 Château Barde-Haut showed even better on this occasion than on release. A huge nose of sweet crème de cassis, jammy blackberries, violets, leather, and dried herbs gives way to a full-bodied wine that has a great mid-palate, ripe, silky tannins, not a hard edge to be found, and a great, great finish. I love it even today, yet it has a full two decades of prime drinking ahead of it.HK$1,695.00 -

The 2020 Barde-Haut is just as compelling it was from barrel. Blueberry jam, crème de cassis, hard candy, spice, new leather and lavender infuse the 2020 with exotic beauty. Soft contours and silky tannins add to its immediacy. Bright acids lend vibrancy to play off all the natural opulence. The 2020 is a fine vintage of Barde-Haut, one of the best in recent memory. The intensely saline finish alone is a thing of beauty.HK$1,465.00 -

A linear wine with fine tannins, red and black currants and minerals. Medium body. Salty, with tight fruit concentration and a pretty finish. Beautifully structured. 3.4 pH and 14% alcohol. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. One of the best I have had from this chateau.HK$1,338 - HK$1,589
