In 1725, the greatest French wines were produced by famous Chateaux but aged and fined by the wine merchant’s cellar masters, who added their final touch to each wine. Germain Rambaud, Barton & Guestier’s first cellar master, crafted the best wines of the 18th century. Today, Barton & Guestier has successfully upheld the tradition of selecting, vinifying, bottling and shipping the fine French Appellation wines to more than 130 countries. Laurent Prada, B&G head winemaker, and his team work daily in partnership with almost 150 winegrowers to produce the 19 wines of our collection of the greatest French Appellations: Bordeaux, Loire Valley, Beaujolais, Bourgogne, Rhone Valley, and Provence.
