Grape varieties: Merlot 5%, Cabernet Franc 30%, Cabernet Sauvignon 65%.
Characteristics:
- The wine has a lovely ruby-red color and a characteristic aromatic bouquet. It is quite round on the palate with tannins that call for two to three years' ageing in bottle to reach their peak.
Serving: Chateau Barthez is best enjoyed at room temperature (18° C). It is an ideal accompaniment to red meat, poultry, and grilled lamb.
