Château Barde-Haut is a 42-acre estate in St.-Emilion. The blend is typically 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. The second wine is Le Vallon de Barde-Haut. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that Barde-Haut is a “seriously run estate…Making modern-style, rich St.-Emilions from ripe Merlot and handled with minimal intervention.”
