Vignobles Bardet, Cuvée Peaky Blinders 2019, Saint-Emilion

Vignobles Bardet, in Bordeaux  Cuvée Peaky Blinders 2019 Saint-Emilion bottled in order of the Shelby Company Limited is a blend of Merlot for 72%, Cabernet f*****g Franc for 22% and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are grown on soils of sands and rocky aggregates around the old port of Saint-Emilion. The vinification is done in concrete tanks in order to protect all the freshness of the fruit. The wine has a dark and intense colour, like Thomas Shelby’s look, with a nose of expressive blackcurrant and other black fruits. The palate is tough and powerful like Arthur Shelby but also silky like Polly Shelby. It respects the entire Shelby family and the environment, it has a high environmental value label. It is not only a very good wine ready to age a bit but it will also be a collector for wine lovers and Peaky Blinders fans.

Vignobles Bardet

Vignobles Bardet

Roger Bardet passed on to his son Philippe a passion for growing wine, a taste for doing work well and a deep respect for the estate.

In 2008, Philippe took over Château Franc le Maine in Bordeaux, another Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.“A subtle blend of technical innovations and environmental practices designed to reveal the treasure within our terroir.” Vignobles Bardet uses inventive practices that respect nature.

They seek to reduce the impact of their activities on the environment by adopting practices that protect nature's balances, such as using grass as a cover crop between the rows of vines, developing hedging around the different plots to reconstitute natural ecosystems, maintaining a weather station to observe local weather patterns affecting the vines, strictly sorting waste and exploiting geothermal energy.
