QualityAbout
There is magic being created in the South West of France. Chateau Barouillet has stood tall in the French wine-making scene for a lengthy 8 generations, being handed down from family member to family member and currently, with Vincent Alexis at its helm, Chateau Barouillet is creating wonderful wines by working the land with care and as naturally as possible.
At Chateau Barouillet, a lot of onus is placed upon organic agriculture and respecting the land, the vines and the fruits. Their approach is to work the land like traditional agriculture, a concept that is extremely similar to us here at Pipers Farm. Natural wine making, in this sense, is similar to the farming of livestock in how the grapes and land are farmed. Since 2013, Chateau Barouillet has been proudly organic, respecting the raw materials of the grapes and wine and limiting any additives added. Their delicate ecosystem is preserved through parsimonious use of organic treatment as well as slightly altering the way they work the plants and soil according to the yearly climatic conditions.
The quintuple estate that Chateau Barouillet lies on is emblematic of the complex vines and wines that they produce. At present, there are 14 grape varieties and plans are in place to ensure they are the pioneers for South West France to have all traditional permitted varieties. Their skill and expertise in natural wine making, handed down through the generations mean that their easy-to-drink vintages are constantly evolving - and we can’t wait to see where they go next.
