Château La Mothe du Barry

Visit Château La Mothe du Barrylocated in Moulon, is run by Joël Duffau, who also owns Château Les Arromans. This passionate and talented winemaker is committed to producing wines of the highest quality.

The vineyards of Château La Mothe du Barry are mainly located on the commune's magnificent clay-limestone slopes, a promised land for Merlot. From his studies and internships in different wine-growing regions in France and abroad (Burgundy, Beaujolais, La Rioja, California), Joël Duffau has retained an openness to others, a never-ending desire for discovery, and a constant questioning of his own abilities.
Vintage after vintage, he has developed vine cultivation and winemaking techniques to produce wines of great personality that have made his reputation, such as the Cuvée Le Barry, cited every year in numerous guides.

The other Château La Mothe du Barry are just as renowned for their high quality, like his Entre-Deux-Mers, from vines in the commune of Naujean and Postiac, a boulbène soil predestined for whites. Joël Duffau's passion for this terroir, so typical of Entre-Deux-Mers, and his desire to return to fairer values led him to convert to organic farming.
