Château Sainte Barbe

Our estate is located on the banks of the Garonne where we run a 33-hectare vineyard. On clayey soils, Château Sainte Barbe produces its wines on AOC Bordeaux and AOC Bordeaux Supérieur. The vineyard is composed of old vines and 20 000 new vines. The majority of the vines are Merlot, the rest are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. We offer Bordeaux wine lovers two red vintages aged on wood in different vintages from 2006 to 2015. Controlled yields and controlled maturation make our wines fruity, round with nice melted tannins and aromas of red and black fruits enhanced by a hint of spices.

Our story

The Château Saint Barbe, with its breathtaking view over the Garonne, is built above the cellars. At that time, the stored barrels were rolled onto boats that waited for them on the Garonne to be transported to England or Northern Europe. In the middle of the 20th century, about 20,000 vines were missing. All were replaced. In the years following this major rehabilitation, almost half of the vineyard was replanted.2013 saw a new lease of life for the Château when it was bought by the de Gaye family, who are continuing the efforts of the previous winegrowers and are increasingly involved in the search for wines of the highest quality.
