Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain 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.

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers 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.
