 > More Gold for Barton & Guestier Passeport wines

The classic appellations of the Barton & Guestier Passeport wines now come to the markets with a small gold border on the labels to highlight the packaging and to improve the impact on the shelves.

The improvement is available on the following appellations: Bordeaux red and white, Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, Rosé d'Anjou, Vouvray, Macon-Villages, Beaujolais and Côtes du Rhône, as per the 2013 vintage.

The pictures of the new range are available on the B&G Pro-Club.

 > Red Lace

Women are mysterious, but this sexy Luscious Red Blend, sweet and slightly oaked, will be one of the secrets they want to share with friends. The impactful 360° shiny silk screen label and the heavy conic bottle make this wine very attractive.

This red blend, classified Vin de France, consists of 80 % Merlot, 10% Shiraz and 10% Grenache.

Tasting notes:

  • Nose: Intense and rich, developing flattering notes of coffee, coconut, vanilla, wild strawberry, blueberry and black cherry.
  • Palate: Round and well balanced on the palate, with velvety tannins and a long fruity aftertaste.

Red Lace is available for the USA in carton outershippers of 12 x 75 cl.
Other markets upon request.

A dedicated website: www.redlacewine.com will be launched in October by Barton & Guestier USA.

 > Château Vieux Maurac

The 2013 vintage, available as from now, will come to your market with a modern and elegant label that keeps the traditional label shape of the historical B&G Bordeaux wines.
A new shiny red and gold capsule branded Barton & Guestier completes the new packaging.

This AOC Médoc wine is made of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting notes:

  • Nose: Intense fruity nose with liquorice and vanilla overtones. Rich and pleasant with delicate oaky notes with aeration.
  • Palate: Rich and powerful on the palate with a good concentration, a nice balance, good tannins and an aromatic finish.

Château Vieux Maurac is available in carton outershippers of 6 x 75 cl.

 > Exclusive Duty Free Travel Retail: Canister for Les Charmes de Magnol Médoc
