After a blind tasting of 350 Bordeaux wines by the Belgium Wine tasting committee of the Revue Vino magazine, Merlot Sainte Barbe 2004, Chateau Sainte Barbe 2003 & 2004 were selected amongst the finalists and Chateau Sainte Barbe was awarded 2 Bacchus.
The wine's taste is fruity with harmonious aromas of ripe grapes, plums and white flowers. On the palate (roof of the mouth), it combines a well-balanced structure with a velvety (closely woven fabric of silk), fine and voluptuous flavour. Evolution: 3 to 5 years
Region: Gironde, right bank of the Garonne, Bordeaux
Grape Varieties: 100% Merlot
Reference
"In 2004, observing how some parcels were reacting to our husbandry, we decided to produce a still higher quality wine, called 'Cuvée VSP' lowering the yield to an extreme 4 bunches of grapes per vine, using picking boxes for hand harvesting and making malolactic fermentation directly in 100% new oak barrels.
The results have exceeded even our expectations."
Complex wine with an aroma of blackberries, blackcurrants, chocolate, and expresso. Medium to full bodied with rich ripe tannins.
