Our family estate has been passed down from generation to generation since 1782. From the 60s, Claude BARREAU continued the work of his father and started to modernize and extend the estate. Vine gradually became the main culture. In the 80s, fifth generation marketed wine in bottle and started exportation toward Europe. Nowadays, we manage 75 hectares of vines and produce 15 000 cases of wine.
Mechanical harvest with berry selection. De-stemming and crushing before vatting. Alcoholic fermentation to a temperature of 25° to 28° degrees with daily pump-overs. Three weeks maceration and selection of the best tanks of Merlot.
