Holiday Gatherings Made Special with Barton & Guestier Red Wines

When it comes to French red wines, few names resonate with the history and prestige of Barton & Guestier (B&G). Founded in 1725 by Irishman Thomas Barton in Bordeaux, B&G stands as one of the oldest wineries still operating today. Nearly 300 years later, the brand remains the epitome of finest quality & tradition, offering wines that truly reflect the diversity and richness of France’s wine regions.
B&G red wines represent some of France’s most esteemed Appellations. The diversity of French terroirs is reflected in their offerings, with grapes carefully grown in select regions to capture the unique characteristics of each appellation. From Bordeaux’s Merlot to the deep reds of the Côtes-du-Rhône, B&G guarantees that each wine expresses the essence of its origin. Every vineyard is chosen for its optimal exposure and ideal conditions to produce grapes of the highest quality.
As the holidays approach, selecting the perfect wine to complement rich, comforting meals becomes essential. Luckily, The Cask & Barrel offers a carefully curated selection of Barton & Guestier wines, ensuring you find the ideal bottle for every occasion. From the smooth elegance of Bordeaux Rouge to the bold intensity of Côtes du Rhône, two wines from the Barton & Guestier collection stand out as top choices this season.
Each wine offers a unique experience, with the Bordeaux Rouge 2022 providing a more classic, refined taste, while the Côtes du Rhône 2022 brings a fuller, bolder flavor.
