Château Barateau Prestige 1996
Gold Medal at the Vinalies Internationales (French Winemakers' Competition)
In the heart of the Haut-Médoc, between Saint-Julien and Pauillac, Château Barateau's vineyards extend across land neighboring the Grands Crus Classés of La Tour Carnet, Camensac, Belgrave, Lagrange, and Talbot. Its Prestige, from the exceptional 1996 vintage, can easily hold its own among the greats. Vinified by Eric Boissenot, a renowned Bordeaux oenologist, it is aged 100% in new barrels and possesses the pedigree of a grand cru, which earned it the coveted Gold Medal at the Vinalies Internationales!
