"100% Pineau d'Aunis
A very old and somewhat forgotten grape variety, Pineau d'Aunis here delivers a subtle cuvée full of charm in a blend of two vintages: 2019 and 2020. Certainly originating in the southwest, this nomadic grape variety is thought to have transited through the Charentes (Aunis and Saintonge) to settle in the Loire Valley, where it is particularly at home on the banks of the Loir. Aged in jars, the wine offers delicacy and freshness in a register of small red fruits, raspberry, spices and pepper. A real delight!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
With 13.5 hectares of vines, David Barrault produces three main cuvées: tire-pé, a wine for immediate pleasure vinified in vats, made almost entirely from Merlot; les-malbecs, from the only parcel of Malbec grown by massal selection; and la-côte, a racy wine that doesn't try to caricature the greats, but expresses its own personality. There's also a delicious rosé, powerful and fresh, and the recently launched cuvée tire'vin'vite, 100% merlot, sulfite-free, to be drunk quickly, as its name suggests, a pure delight.

Rated (guide 2023) 15/20 (Good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
At the far end of the Saint-Macaire hills, near La Réole, the terroir of Hélène and David Barrault's small estate is a curiosity. The almost flush limestone soil, on which the classic Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc grapes are planted, has a remarkable identity. What's more, in 2012 the couple planted massal selections of rare grape varieties, unearthed from the depths of Gironde ampelography. It was no mean feat to find the plants, but the results in the bottle live up to expectations. Nothing is ordinary on this estate, not even the grape varieties, nor the methods of ageing in demi-muid, concrete vats and jars.
