Château de Barbe 2015
Côtes de Bourg
The genesis of this elegant Côtes de Bourg is written on the terrace of the château overlooking the Gironde, enveloped in an exceptional microclimate. There, its grapes draw from their clay-limestone terroir a unique expression. Its blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec works wonders paired with red meats, grilled dishes, and poultry. After several years of aging, its full potential shines.
Presenting very deep colouring along with a bouquet full of aromas of juicy black fruits such as blueberry and blackberry, this Château de Barbe is in the early stages of its development but it is already showing the quality promise of the sun-soaked vintage. On tasting it boasts fleshy, concentrated substance, typical of the conditions of the year. However there is good focus and balance. This is already a good wine for drinking now but with further maturing it will more fully reveal its great potential.
