Château Haut Barry Bordeaux Supérieur

A classic Bordeaux Supérieur that shows what the appellation can do: dark fruit, structuring tannins, and a balance that goes far beyond the price.

Château Haut-Barry is located in the heart of the Bordeaux Supérieur – that appellation which places stricter requirements on ripeness and aging than the simple AOC Bordeaux. The wines from this area combine the typical Merlot dominance of the right bank with the structuring influence of Cabernet Franc.

In the glass, the wine shows a rich Bordeaux red with garnet-red reflections. On the nose: blackberry, black cherry, and plum, plus a clear violet note and fine spice in the background. On the palate, soft at the start, then increasingly present – the tannins are noticeable but well-integrated and give the wine backbone without hardness. The finish is long and aromatically dense.
