James Suckling 92-93
Pretty center palate of firm and silky tannins and dark fruits, as well as hints of walnuts and cedar. Medium to full body and a lovely finish. Same as 2015 in quality

Chateau Baret
Chateau Baret has been belonging to the Ballande family for nearly 200 years. Chateau Baret is located close to Bordeaux (7km) like Chateau Haut Brion and Chateau Pape Clement, in one of the best terroir of the prestigious Pessac Leognan appellation. The vineyard benefiting from being near the city area in a more temperate environment, harvests are among the earliest within the appellation although grapes are always perfectly mature whatever the weather conditions during summertime are. Chateau Baret produces great, elegant and aromatic white wines and ripe, red wines with a silky character and the typical red fruit aromas of the appellation.
