Terroir and Winemaking Excellence
The vineyards of Côtes de Bourg benefit from well-draining soils and a moderate maritime climate, yielding grapes of exceptional balance and complexity. For the 2023 vintage, our winemaker employed gentle sorting, temperature-controlled fermentation, and subtle oak aging to preserve the wine’s vibrant fruit while adding depth and texture.
Tasting Profile
On the nose, expect an enticing bouquet of red cherries, blackberries, and a hint of wild herbs. The palate is generous yet elegant, with plush tannins, bright acidity, and layers of plum, bramble fruit, and cocoa spice. A touch of vanilla and baking spice from oak aging adds complexity, culminating in a smooth, lingering finish.
Food Pairing and Serving Suggestions
This versatile Bordeaux pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes: grilled lamb chops, charcuterie boards, mushroom risotto, and medium-aged cheeses. Serve slightly below room temperature (16–18°C) to highlight its fresh fruit character and balanced structure.
Aging Potential
While wonderful to enjoy now, the 2023 Hipster de Barbe can age gracefully for 5–8 years, developing greater tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, and forest floor.
