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.
Machine harvesting in the cool, early morning. Selection of the berries. Skin contact maceration during 10 to 12 hours for the Sémillon. Low temperature fermentation from 14°C to 18°C to enhance aromas. Ageing on fine lees in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats during few weeks.
Pairs well with oysters, grilled fish, and seafood based dishes.
