The Producer

Barton & Guestier's négociant model is based on partnerships with winegrowers in Languedoc, Gascony and Corsica. As a négociant, it assembles wines from partner growers across regions under one house name. Barton & Guestier is Bordeaux's oldest winehouse still active. Its range includes varietal wines under B&G Réserve, Les 3 Rius from Côtes du Roussillon Villages and Crémant de Bourgogne.

Place

Les 3 Rius refers to L'Agly, Le Tech and La Têt, the three regional rivers associated with Barton & Guestier's Côtes du Roussillon Villages wine. A regional appellation identifies the place on the label. A varietal wine identifies the grape.

B&G Réserve uses grape names, so the range includes both regional appellation wines and varietal wines.

Wines

B&G Réserve is the varietal line, with Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. The range also includes a Pays d'Oc rosé from Grenache and Syrah, Les 3 Rius from Côtes du Roussillon Villages, and Crémant de Bourgogne.

The Crémant is pale yellow with golden hints, fine, persistent bubbles and a soft mousse. The rosé is shiny salmon pink, with ripe redcurrant and raspberry aromas and rose on the nose. Its palate is crisp and lively, with intense pink grapefruit.

Final Word

Barton & Guestier is a Bordeaux winehouse with a négociant network of winegrower partnerships in Languedoc, Gascony and Corsica.
