Notes
|
| "Under the same ownership as Pomerol's Clos l'Eglise, this is a property situated near to Troplong Mondot and La Mondotte. Wine-making is overseen by Alain Reynaud of La Fleur de Gay. 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 100% new oak, 14.5 degrees. Picked very late in October. Thick, chewy and heady with extra-ripe black fruits, vanilla oak flavours, a firey mid palate and undeniable concentration." -winemaker |

Critics' Notes
|
| "A tiny crop of 18 hectoliters per hectare (the result of the mid-May hail damage) lead to an opaque purple-colored, richest, most concentrated, biggest Barde-Haut made to date. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2009 possesses an intense bouquet of mulberries, boysenberries, charcoal, toast, and graphite. Extremely full-bodied, thick, and viscous with good freshness and definition as well as sweet, but high tannins, this beauty can be enjoyed over the next two decades. Tasted two times." -Robert Parker |
