The Thomas Barton Réserve product line showcases the notions of terroir and grape varieties through a selection of wines that are representative of their environments. The brand has created a selection of high-end wines to represent the most prestigious French appellations. Issued by the Barton & Guestier domains, the Thomas Barton selection honours one of Bordeaux most influential negociants through a high-end product line that represents the region’s most prestigious appellations. Its garnet colour announces a fine wooded nose with notes of roasted dark fruits and liquorice. The palate is balanced, straight, fine and round with a nice envelope. The wine is nervous with velvety tannins.

This range of wines is the ultimate homage to Thomas Barton, who came in Bordeaux from Ireland in 1725. He quickly became the most important wine merchant in Bordeaux having built a solid reputation among prestigious customers all over Europe. The spirit of Thomas Barton has been perpetuated in this unique and prestigious range of carefully selected wines from the heart of the Bordeaux region’s greatest appellations. These wines are the epitome of classic Bordeaux: rich, fruity and elegantly oaked, the modern equivalent of the great wines of the 18th century, those that Thomas Barton might have enjoyed and chosen himself.

Everything starts out in the vineyard, with a drastic selection of the best terroirs and strict vine-growing rules in order to guarantee high quality fruit. Yields are low, sorting rigorous, and the wines are traditionally fermented before ageing in oak barrels to enhance each terroir’s authenticity. All these efforts and attention are richly rewarded by the quality and generosity of Thomas Barton Réserve wines, whose opulent style and excellent ageing potential represent the quintessence of the finest wines of Bordeaux.
