Chateau Barreyres Haut-Medoc

Bordeaux

Haut-Médoc

👃 På lukt er denne klokkeklar Bordeaux. Solbær, blåbær; kanel, nellik, vanilke, blyantspiss og sedertre. Den er kompleks på duft og man forventer en meget solid vin. Duft alene bikker den 90 poeng.

👄 I munnen skuffer den sett opp i mot lukten. Du drikker den og klarer ikke helt å få grepet om vinen. Den er solbærpreget med noe innslag av pepper og en umoden bitterhet. Den sitter noe.


Expert

Earthy, with autumnal brambly fruit here, fairly high acidity on the finish. Castel, Terra Vitis.

Inside Bordeaux

Clear tannic architecture, careful construction to ensure an emphasis on berry fruits, easy and unfussy, a little hard on the finish. Castel Group, 100% 1st wine, 15% new oak. 115ha in one stretch, after buying lots of smaller neighbouring estates. Harvest 24 September to 9 October, 49hl/h yield.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Barreyres is a little shy to begin, revealing subtle notes of stewed plums, Morello cherries, and fruitcake, plus touches of dried herbs and black olives. The medium-bodied palate is lively and refreshing, with plenty of savory flavors and soft, approachable tannins, finishing on a peppery note.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Earth and tomato leaf aromatics, soft but enjoyable, well balanced, autumnal berry fruits laced with white pepper. In the Castel family, the vineyard covers 110ha in a single stretch between the Gironde river and the D2 road in Arcins. First year with Petit Verdot in the blend.

Sweet oak and smooth tannins mark out this Merlot-dominant wine that is located in the commune of Arcins, close to the borders of Margaux. Easy to drink, slightly rustic tannins but well balanced by grilled cedar. Owned by Pierre Castel since 1971.
