What reviewers say
“Rich and well- balanced tannins and raspberry aromas... I finally understood what is the finish of a sip tastes/feels like. I'm glad that I got it, even though my reason told me not to with my modest student budget. My first Saint-Emilion, it won't be the last i assume.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Barton & Guestier Saint-Émilion is a red from Saint-Émilion, France. It blends Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
138 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 142 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. 1,133 other reds from France form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Barton & Guestier Saint-Émilion lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 138.
