Château Barreyres, a renowned Cru Bourgeois of the Haut-Médoc, represents Bordeaux tradition and savoir-faire. The 2016 vintage, honoured with a Silver Medal at the 2018 Vinalies Internationales, strikes the perfect balance between elegance, depth, and structure.

Blend and winemaking

This wine is crafted from a balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, which provides structure and aromatic intensity, and Merlot, which adds roundness and suppleness. Grapes harvested at peak ripeness are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats before oak barrel ageing, enhancing complexity and finesse.

Tasting notes

Its deep garnet robe reflects the richness of the vintage. The bouquet opens with blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark plum, lifted by spicy, vanilla, and subtle toasty notes. On the palate, it is generous and elegant, supported by silky tannins and a refreshing balance. The finish is long, persistent, and refined.

Serving temperature & tips

Best served between 16–18°C, ideally decanted for one hour to fully release its aromas and complexity.
