This 17-hectare amphitheater of a vineyard has produced a successful 2021 Barde-Haut, offering up aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums framed by a creamy patina of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with tangy acids and a generous endowment of powdery structuring tannins, it's a blend of more or less 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (the latter increasingly deriving from massale selections taken at Clos l'Eglise).
Located in the east of Saint-Émilion, beyond Trottevieille, the Garçin-Léveque family's Barde-Haut occupies a 17-hectare amphitheater of vineyards, planted with around 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Farming is pragmatic, with cultivated soils, and the vineyards have been restructured, incorporating massale selections of Cabernet Franc from Clos l'Eglise in Pomerol.
