The blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Fer Servadou, and Mérille produces a unique wine that combines complexity and harmony. Mechanical harvesting ensures that the grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, preserving their aromatic richness. Fermentation with native yeasts and gentle maceration in stainless steel tanks contribute to a silky texture. The absence of sulfur, as well as the decision not to filter, guarantee an authentic wine that ages harmoniously in the bottle.

Barouillet Castle
In Bergerac, Château Barouillet is now run by a new generation, with an approach focused on highlighting the character of the grapes and achieving a simple, balanced style. The estate cultivates the region’s traditional grape varieties, notably Merlot, Malbec, and Sémillon, striving to preserve their most direct expression.
The vineyard is managed using sustainable practices, with minimal intervention during winemaking. Extraction is kept to a minimum and aging is deliberately light, allowing the fruit to take center stage. Some vintages may have a slightly fuller texture, which is embraced as a defining characteristic of the style, without ever weighing down the wine’s profile.
The wines stand out for their straightforwardness and approachability, while retaining a true aromatic precision. The work of Château Barouillet as a whole offers a sincere and contemporary interpretation of Bergerac, based on clarity, freshness, and an unpretentious approach.
