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, having worked in a number of estates around the world, Vincent Alexis has been gradually converting the vineyard to organic viticulture, producing unpretentious, fruity wines that embody the revival of the sector.

Château Barouillet vineyard produces Monbazillac, Bergerac Rouge, Pécharmant, Côtes de Bergerac moelleux and superb dry whites. Vincent Alexis claims to be a "peasant" farmer, using sparingly the use of pesticides to maintain the biological diversity of the vineyard ecosystem and its surroundings. The cultivation methods used on each plot (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 are made 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.
