The winemaker

Château Barreyres is located between the Gironde estuary and the village of Arcins in the heart of the Haut Médoc appellation. Acquired by the Castel family in 1971, this cru bourgeois of the Haut Médoc is one of the jewels of the region and the estate's wines, balanced, supple and elegant superior Bordeaux, have largely contributed to the reputation of Gironde wines.

The Estate


The property extends over 240 hectares, it includes meadows, forests and of course, vineyards. The 100-hectare vineyard is planted mainly with red grape varieties with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Only half a hectare is planted with white grape varieties with equal parts Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

The soil is made up of fine Pyrenean gravel, which makes it draining and capable of retaining heat, and the vineyard has excellent exposure. It thus has ideal characteristics favoring the maturation of the grapes.

The 19th century mansion has been completely restored and now hosts prestigious receptions. The viticultural installations have also benefited from important investments. In particular, the estate has a magnificent cathedral cellar that can accommodate 1600 barrels. Made of oak, they are renewed by third. The thermo-regulated vats allow a complete control of the vinification.

This rigorous work has been rewarded with multiple distinctions and reinforces the reputation of excellence of this Haut Médoc Cru.

The wines


The Chateau Barreyres is the estate's first wine, a seductive Bordeaux, combining power and suppleness. The nose is fruity with aromas of currants, vanilla and spicy notes. The mouth offers a long finish. Oenologist Antoine Médeville, a specialist in the region's terroirs, has been contributing his expertise since 2007 to the production of this cuvée.

The Château Tour Bellevue is the second wine of the property, it is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The nose offers a fruity aromatic palette with notes of red fruits, which can evolve with a few years to more woody aromas. It is a balanced and greedy wine with notes of cocoa, a good choice to accompany red meat like lamb, beef or even game.

The Chateau Fougey is a round and warm wine from the estate's younger vines. It is made with a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The aromatic bouquet blends fruit and spice and this cuvée gives its full potential after a few years in the cellar.
