The vineyard is located in the Moulis-en-Médoc appellation, and the soil is a mix of clay-gravel, ideal for cultivating Cabernet Franc and Merlot, while another section features fine gravel and gritty sand, providing the perfect conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve full ripeness.
As with all the Barton family's endeavours, great importance is attached to environmental protection and the quality of the wines produced. The 55-hectare vineyard is planted with 54% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11% Cabernet Franc.
soft, fruit-forward nose of raspberry and cherry is lifted by a hint of mint. On the palate, vibrant red fruits are balanced by a bright acidity, which complements the wine’s roundness and elegance. The tannins are supple and are shaped by careful oak aging, with varied toast levels from different coopers contributing subtle depth and complexity. The finish lingers with notes of sweet red fruit.
Harvested by hand between 27th September and 13th October to ensure the highest quality, the grapes undergo a careful selection process. They are then transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for fermentation and maceration. The aging process lasts 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels, one-third of which are new. These barrels are placed on a gravel bed to help regulate humidity and promote the optimal maturation of the wine.
