Château Barouillet

Château Barouillet is a family-run vineyard located in Pomport, Dordogne, in the heart of the Monbazillac appellation south of Bergerac, just 50 kilometers east of Saint-Emilion. It covers 45 hectares spread over five parcels. Since 2009, after having worked in numerous estates around the world, Vincent Alexis has been gradually converting the vineyard to organic viticulture, producing unpretentious, fruity wines and embodying the revival of the sector.

The Château Barouillet vineyard produces Monbazillac, Bergerac Rouge, Pécharmant, Côtes de Bergerac moelleux and superb dry whites. Vincent Alexis advocates a "peasant" style of agriculture, with very sparing use of chemical treatments to maintain the biological diversity of the vineyard ecosystem and its surroundings. Plot cultivation methods (grassing, tilling, mowing) are adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the year, in order to bring out the best of each vintage in our final wine.

Vinification at Château Barouillet is carried out in continuity with the work in the vineyard, with the utmost respect for the raw material. Inputs are kept to a minimum, and impeccable hygiene is maintained in the winery. The fact of not using selected yeasts is a risk, but it's also a guarantee of the typicality and representativeness of the terroir that makes the domaine's AOC wines.
