 > Héritage N° 290

To celebrate its 290th anniversary, Barton & Guestier launched Héritage N°290, the Ultimate wine brand and an innovation in the world of wine!

For almost 300 years, Barton & Guestier has been excellent at vinifying, ageing, fining and shipping the best wines from France. 290 years ago, these wines were those produced at Margaux, Lafite, Haut Brion... The cellar masters were adding their final touch to the wine and Barton & Guestier's 1st cellar master, Germain Rambaud was shaping the best wines of the 18th century.

Barton & Guestier has been sucessful in keeping the tradition and continues to select, make and ship the best wines from France.

In 2015, inspired by the spirit of the B&G founders, winemaker Laurent Prada is bringing Héritage by Barton & Guestier, the 1st brand to offer consistency in quality, in price and in availability to winelovers worldwide. Like the great Cognac, the most exclusive Whiskies, the most illustrious Champagne, Héritage is non vintage to offer consistant style and quality.

 > Partager

A new look for the trio of Partager wines, one of B&G's oldest and most popular wine ranges.

The highlight on the Partager name and the addition of the traditional French coat of arms treated in an original way result in a modern and elegant label. The strong B&G branding on the caps will undoubtedly increase the impact on the shelf.

The quality of these slightly sweet easy drinking house wines sourced from the Mediterranean remains unchanged.

The new packaging is available for all markets (75 cl format only).
