Vinification of Bordeaux Rouge by Barton & Guestier

The grapes for the Bordeaux Rouge by Barton & Guestier grow in carefully selected locations within the Bordeaux region, which, thanks to their calcareous clay soils, provide perfect conditions for intense quality. The vines thrive under optimal climatic conditions characterized by mild temperatures and ample sunshine.

The harvest is traditionally done by hand to preserve the grapes intact and fresh. This allows for precise selection of the best grapes, which significantly influence the character of the wine.

After gentle destemming, a traditional maceration fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures to carefully extract the aromas. The fermentation is supported by regular pumping over of the must. Subsequently, the young wine matures in oak barrels, imparting a subtle woody note and a harmonious tannin structure.

The maturation over several months allows the wine to fully develop its complexity and character. The combination of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship defines the vinification of this wine.
