On the right bank of the Gironde estuary, Château de Barbe spans 66 hectares, including 42 hectares in the Côtes de Bourg appellation, on clay-limestone slopes. Dating back to the 14th century, it has belonged to the Richard family since 1993. Merlot is the dominant grape variety. The classic Bordeaux style, nuanced by the personality of the terroir and enhanced by the winemaker's skill, results in well-structured wines.
