Bordeaux tends to divide itself in two camps – old school and traditional, making wine in the same way as their grandparents, and modern and forward-thinking, quick to embrace technology and introducing a flashier, more immediate style of wine. Our winery partners for Webster Barnes Selection Médoc have a foot in both camps. The goal are wines that speak to the classic Bordeaux character – intense, concentrated fruit, good acidity, and a tannic framework that allows for graceful aging. At the same time, a state-of-the-art cellar allows for perfectly balanced fruit extraction and rigorous selection of fruit – meaning that each glass is a clean, pure taste of what Bordeaux has always been, and its potential for the future.
The gravelly, alluvial soils of Bordeaux’s famous Médoc region are one of the world’s truly great sites for intensely fruity, well-structured Cabernet wines. The Gironde River, located within view of the parcels, provides for much needed cooling breezes during the long, warm growing season. The result is balance in the grapes – of fruit, vital acidity, and firm, dense, chewy tannins.
