WINE ALIGN:
Steve Thurlow:
"This is opaque purple red wine is a great buy for a pure clean structured red. Expect mild aromas of black and red berry fruit with some herbal tones. It is full bodied and flavourful with a long dry finish. Not a lot of complexity but well balanced for cheese or meat dishes. Best 2015 to 2017."
Tasted July 2015. Rating: 87 points.
David Lawrason:
"This is a very good buy at $10. It captures the essential fruit charm and structure of a French merlot without resorting to faux oak or sweetness.
Pretty aromas of berry jam, herbs and a touch of leather are mindful of Bordeaux merlot (altho' this comes from the Languedoc). It's medium bodied, with some mid-palate fruit charm... Good to very good length." Tasted April 2015.

Shanken News: Barton & Guestier Rebounds With Upmarket Shift
"After a difficult period of ownership and importer changes, one of French wine's best recognized brands is back on the upswing, benefiting from better category conditions and a new focus on higher price points. Formerly part of the Diageo Chateau & Estate portfolio, Barton & Guestier was acquired by French wine giant Castel in 2010, and subsequently set up its own U.S. operation, Barton & Guestier USA, based in Miami. Industry veteran Hubert Surville, who runs the U.S. business as COO, tells SND that sales are up about 30% this year, with annual volume rising to nearly 150,000 cases. "Previously our varietal wines (around $9.99) made up 90% of the business. Now they make up only about 40%, and our AOC wines ($10-$40) have exploded," Surville says. Within its AOC range, B&G has seen rapid growth from its Côtes du Provence rosé ($15), as well as its Loire wines like Rosé d'Anjou and Vouvray ($12). Surville observes that the stronger U.S. dollar has helped imported wines lately. With depletions accelerating and Castel continuing to invest in the business, he sees the B&G portfolio reaching 250,000-300,000 cases in the next three years.
This spring, B&G launched a new La Villa Barton rosé at $20, and it's currently introducing Syrah-Grenache blend Héritage ($20), sourced from the Duché d'Uzès AOC in the Southern Rhône and debuting in conjunction with the company's 290th anniversary. Surville sees Héritage as a way to "show what we can do in terms of quality at that price point." In the coming weeks it will follow with new "special cuvées" from Bordeaux, which will retail at around the $15 mark.
