The Story
Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc from Bergerac, South West France.
Juicy • vibrant • dark fruit • fresh.
This is a joyfully honest and incredibly drinkable red blend from Bergerac, showcasing the region’s classic dark-skinned grapes. Made via an 'infusion' method with a mix of whole bunches and crushed grapes, the emphasis is entirely on bright, fresh fruit and fluid texture. Expect aromas of fresh black cherry, liquorice, and crushed red berries, all finishing with a vibrant, clean lift. Bottled with no added sulphur, no filtration, and no fining, this red is best enjoyed slightly chilled to fully capture its exuberant, crunchy character.
Château Barouillet is a family business with a deep connection to the land, tracing its history back over eight generations in the Bergerac region. Winemaker Vincent Alexis works alongside his father and grandfather, having successfully transitioned the entire 45-hectare estate to organic viticulture—a change Vincent championed. The family's philosophy is centred on respect for the raw materials, limiting additives to the bare minimum and employing low-intervention techniques to allow the natural yeasts and terroir to express themselves. They adapt their work each year to the specific climate and vine conditions, honouring tradition while pushing a biodynamic approach.
