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