Description

Like other French crémants, Barton & Guestier Crémant de Bordeaux is produced using the traditional method with secondary fermentation in the bottle. In true Bordeaux style, the dark grape variety used is Cabernet Franc and the white variety is Sémillon. The grapes are grown in clay–limestone soils, gravel, and sand. The wine gains structure from pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation at a low temperature of 18 °C, with 30% fermented in new oak barrels and 70% in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged for a further three months in new barrels, during which the lees are stirred (bâtonnage). One year of bottle aging completes the wine.

Barton & Guestier

Barton & Guestier on lähes kolme vuosisataa toiminut viiniliike, jonka perusti vuonna 1725 irlantilainen Thomas Barton asettuessaan Bordeaux’n kaupunkiin. Hänen pojanpoikansa sai 1802 kumppanikseen ranskalaisen Daniel Guestier’in ja liiketoiminta kukoisti pitkään laivojen kuljettaessa Bordeaux’n viiniä Irlantiin, Englantiin, Hollantiin ja USAhan.
