Our Story
Welcome to The Barouillet
For 8 generations, Barouillet has remained in the same family, my great grandfather Émilien was one of the pioneers of bottled wine in Monbazillac, the story may be even older but one thing is certain, it has existed for a very long time and my ancestors knew how to love this land and pamper it.

Our Terroirs
We are located in Pomport, in the Dordogne (24), right in the heart of the Monbazillac appellation area, among the highest plateaux of the appellation (175m). Situated south of Bergerac, 50 kilometres east of Saint-Émilion. The estate spans 45 hectares spread across 3 separate plots.

Biodynamics
Our approach aims to return to traditional small-scale farming, with a deep appreciation for each terroir, each plot, and a return to good old farming common sense. To this end, since 2010, we have gradually converted the entire estate to organic farming, achieving full certification or conversion by 2014. We take the organic approach a step further by working according to the lunar calendar, both in the vineyard and in the cellar.

Vinification
Our winemaking is carried out as a natural extension of the work in the vineyard, with the utmost respect for the fruit (conveyor belt, pneumatic press, peristaltic pump).
