Chateau Barreyres

Ratings:     Tech Sheet:   Vintage: 2016   Appellation: Haut-Medoc   Description: Chateau Barreyres 2016 shows a sumptuous deep purple color. Open on the nose with appealing scents of fresh fruit alongside classic features associated with well-managed aging. This is a fine, elegant Cru Bourgeois with a very pleasing profile, including good structure and a full body. The finish is remarkably persistent.  Tasting Notes:   Deep, dark red with a glimmer of rubies. Very intense, very rich nose of well-ripened blackcurrants and blackberries, noble woods and cocoa, underpinned by toasty oak flavors, add to the complexity, while a touch of pepper creates an even more intriguing nose. The mid-palate is rich, the tannins, sumptuous. Plenty of roundness, admirable flavor, and a blueberry finish.   Harvest Dates: 28th September - 11th October   Blend: Merlot: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon: 49%   Food Pairings: Good cuts of beef, leg of lam, free range chicken, dishes served in sauce and mature c
