Der produceres årligt ca. 40.000 flasker på druer fra gennemsnitlig 35 år gamle vinstokke. Alle druer håndplukkes og gennemgår en meget omhyggelig sortering inden fermenteringen i temperaturkontrollerede tanke. Den efterfølgende lagring foregår i 80-100% nye fade over en periode på ca. 18 måneder.

92-94 point, Vinous: 

"The 2021 Barde-Haut is a relatively soft wine for this site in Saint-Émilion's Saint Christophe des Bardes sector, but there's good depth and plenty of resonance. Rose petal, lavender and spice meld into a core of red/purplish berry fruit. All the elements are very nicely balanced. Specifically, the oak imprint is not as present as in previous years, and that's a good thing. The 2021 is beautifully done from start to finish. It's a terrific effort from Hélène Garcin and Patrice Lévêque."

93 point, James Suckling: 

"Fruity nose with strawberries, red currants and spices with a touch of hibiscus and mineral. Medium body on the palate with plenty of fine, dusty tannins and juicy fruit, showing a nice tension with chalky tannins. Bright, fresh and polished. Drinkable now, but better from 2025."

91-93 point, The Wine Advocate:

"This 17-hectare amphitheater of a vineyard has produced a successful 2021 Barde-Haut, offering up aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums framed by a creamy patina of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with tangy acids and a generous endowment of powdery structuring tannins, it's a blend of more or less 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (the latter increasingly deriving from massale selections taken at Clos l'Eglise)."
