Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
On 13.5 hectares, David Barrault produces three main wines: *Tire-pé*, a wine for immediate enjoyment vinified in tanks, made almost exclusively from Merlot; *Les-Malbecs*, from the sole Malbec plot derived from a mass selection; and *La-Côte*, a distinguished wine that doesn’t try to imitate the greats but expresses its own personality. There is also a delicious rosé, powerful and fresh, and, more recently, the “Tire’vin’vite” cuvée—100% Merlot, sulfite-free—to be enjoyed, as its name suggests, quickly; a pure delight.

About the estate:
At the very edge of the Saint-Macaire hillsides, near La Réole, the terroir of Hélène and David Barrault’s small estate is something of a curiosity. The soil, studded with limestone that nearly reaches the surface and planted with the classic Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc, possesses a remarkable identity. Moreover, in 2012 the couple planted massal selections of rare grape varieties, unearthed from the depths of Gironde’s ampelography. Finding the vines was no small feat, but the result in the bottle lives up to expectations. Nothing about the estate is ordinary—neither the grape varieties nor the aging methods, which include demi-muids, concrete tanks, and earthenware jars.
