| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nIt displays plenty of berry fruit, good ripe tannins, and a long balanced finish. Succulent with a creamy texture, this is what top quality petit ch\u00e2teau Bordeaux is all about. It is worth nothing that the yields for this wine are extremely low for Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur and lend the wine a concentration not often seen in the category.\r\nBlend - \u00a080% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon\r\nAbout Ch\u00e2teau Barreyre\r\nChateau Barreyre is an historic property with an authentic 18th century ch\u00e2teau. The ch\u00e2teau was constructed in 1774 by Nicolas Barreyre, but the cultivation of the vines on the property dates back even further. The Barreyre family is a prominent Bordelais family of bourgeois origin, which may explain why the estate weathered the French Revolution and remains within the family, even until this day. A small, 9-hectare property with a view of the Gironde and the nearby port of Macau, Ch\u00e2teau Barreyre actually lies within the Haut M\u00e9doc. It is in fact quite close to the border of the Margaux appellation. Yet, due to its proximity to the river and higher clay content in the soil, Ch\u00e2teau Barreyre is only entitled to the appellation Bordeaux Sup\u00e9rieur \u2013 a boon to savvy consumers looking for bona fide Bordeaux at an affordable price. |
