The Descorps family have crafted wine in Bordeaux for several generations. Château Haut Bardin lies near the village of Donzac, and its vineyards benefit from classic clay and limestone soils that help the grapes develop complexity. Thanks to excellent growing conditions during 2018, the estate’s Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes also developed ripe, concentrated flavors.

A traditional marriage of Merlot (70%) and Cabernet (30%), Château Haut Bardin debuted to a gold medal at the prestigious Concours Général Agricole de Paris. With ripe, black-fruit flavors and rounded tannins, it’ll be a winner on your dinner table too. Enjoy it alongside roasted meats, hearty vegetarian fare, or winter stews.
