The spirit of wine
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 presitious 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.
Winemaking
|
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 traditionnaly 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 quitessence of the finest wines of Bordeaux. |
