Description
Chateau Barouillet has been a family business going back at least 8 generations. Vincent Alexis works alongside his father and grandfather to cultivate the land and has moved the winery into Organic viticulture, starting to convert the soil in 2010 and fully converting all the vineyards by 2014.
The domaine controls 45 hectares of vines throughout Monbazzillac, Bergerac Pécharmant, and Cotes de Bergerac. Vincent continues to push the biological approach further by working according to the lunar calendar in the vineyards and in the cellar.
Located 50 km east from Saint-Émilion, the Barouillet family has been working the vines in Bergerac for at least 8 generations.
This is organic and low intervention at its best. With equal parts Cabernet, Malbec and Merlot the wine is filled with liquorice and ripe red fruit aromas. Notes of blackcurrant reveal a fruity and rich mouthfeel that still maintains freshness.
It matches perfectly with grilled meat, roast, charcuteries, or with spaghetti Bolognese.
