"The 2021 Barde-Haut is a relatively soft wine for this site in Saint-Emilion's Saint Christophe des Bardes sector, but there's good depth and plenty of resonance. Rose petal, lavender, and spice meld into a core of red/purplish berry fruit. All the elements are very nicely balanced."
Expert Reviews
Fruity nose with strawberries, red currants and spices with a touch of hibiscus and mineral. Medium body on the palate with plenty of fine, dusty tannins and juicy fruit, showing a nice tension with chalky tannins. Bright, fresh and polished. Drinkable now, but better from 2025.

"This 17-hectare amphitheater of a vineyard has produced a successful 2021 Barde-Haut, offering up aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums framed by a creamy patina of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with tangy acids and a generous endowment of powdery structuring tannins, it's a blend of more or less 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (the latter increasingly deriving from massale selections taken at Clos l'Eglise)."

"The 2021 Barde-Haut is laced with black cherry, plum, mocha, spice, new leather and tobacco. This soft, juicy Saint-Émilion is supple full of near- and medium-term appeal. It’s a fine effort from Hélène Garcin and Patrice Lévêque in this very challenging vintage."
