Château Barbebelle

Today, Madeleine, the winegrower, is there to bring modernity to this old-fashioned domain. Don't rest on your laurels! At the estate, we like to chat with the vines while riding 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 the best plots, those with the best exposure and soil. On the property, we find a clay-limestone soil that is extremely beneficial for our vines. The vines are old (with an average age of 25 years) and have long roots which allow them to go and find the best from far away in the soil. We weed only mechanically and do not use chemical weed killers.

Our story

Before, Château Barbebelle was almost the only property in the area, the entire harvest was sold at the cellar on the spot. Today we have 7 cellars in our village alone. It's time to face the competition and find new markets! Being an only daughter, some people think that I was 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 didn't hesitate for long 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 that I have followed a quality commercial training that gives me confidence in myself and my ability to convince. Today we are 7 wineries in our village alone!
