Château Barbebelle

Today, Madeleine, the winegrower, is there to bring modernity to this old-fashioned estate. Don't rest on her laurels! At the estate, we like to chat with the vines while riding a horse between the rows at daybreak! The winegrower devotes special moments like this several times a week! The space that Château Barbebelle enjoys allows the technical teams to plant only on the best plots, those with the best exposure and soil. On the property, the clay and limestone soil is extremely beneficial for our vines. The vines are old (with an average age of 25 years) and have long roots that allow them to get the best out of the soil. We weed only mechanically and do not use chemical weed killers.

Our story

Previously, Château Barbebelle was almost the only property in the area, the entire harvest was sold at the cellar on site. Today, we have 7 cellars in our village alone. It's time to face the competition and find new markets! As an only daughter, some people think that I have been forced to take over the management of Barbebelle! Not at all! Disappointed by the marketing in a large food-processing group yet idealized by my business school, I did not hesitate for a long time to choose life in Provence! The transition between my father and me was brutal. Imagine, dad doesn't even know how to use a computer and I'm joining an online community! My strength is to have followed a quality commercial training thanks to which I have confidence in myself and in my ability to convince. To this is added the desire to work hard to make Barbebelle evolve! Today we are 7 wineries in our village alone. It's time to face the competition and find new markets!
