Suckling 94:
Superb intensity and clarity of fruit, ranging from blueberries to blackcurrants to oyster shells and lightly tarry accents. Finely laced tannins inhabit vibrant layers of blue fruit, licorice flavors and a tight, silky texture. Minerally and very polished.

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.
