Description

1722 - Thomas Barton left his native Ireland to settle in Bordeaux, founding few years later a wine merchant company - that still bears the name Barton today.

The Barton story continues with Anthony's daughter, Lilian, and her two children, now writing the chapter of the 10th generation.

VINIFICATION

The harvesting is done entirely by hand. After the destemming, the berries are carefully sorted, crushed and poured in wooden vats thermo-regulated, according to their plots. The alcoholic fermentation lasts from 7 to 10 days and the extraction is always respectful of the juice by adjusting the number of pumping depending on the cuvées and the vintages. The maceration is about 3 weeks then the juice is drawn in barrels, lot by lot. The wine is then aged between 16 and 18 months in French oak barrels of which 60% are brand new, in a cellar maintained at 15°. The wines are topped up 3 times a week to avoid any contact between the wine and the air, the racking is traditional using the socalled "à l'esquive" method.

Tasting

This wine is a well-constituted, powerful and generous teenager, with good wood and floral aromas with hints of acacia. The balance is perfect, combining fleshiness and fullness, crowned by long and tasty tannins.
