Pinot Noir Réserve
Barton & Guestier • France
"Subtle elegance: a refined and seductive Pinot Noir that captures the floral essence of the grape, offering a velvety texture and the most delicate expression of France."
Liquid Silk from the Oldest House in Bordeaux
If you are looking to buy an elegant and light French Pinot Noir red wine, the Barton & Guestier Pinot Noir Réserve reflects the legacy of the oldest wine house in Bordeaux, founded in 1725 by Thomas Barton. Recognized today by the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (CIVB) as one of the great merchant houses of the region, B&G extends its savoir-faire to varietals from other areas of France, such as this Pinot Noir sourced from coastal terroirs in the south of the country. A careful selection and cold maceration achieve a brilliant crimson color and a master touch of oak that adds just the right amount of structure without overshadowing its delicacy: a Mediterranean Pinot Noir that is fruity, elegant, and perfect for sophisticated palates. You can learn more about the history of the house on the official Barton & Guestier website.
