Ch\u00e2teau Haut Barrail is a vineyard paradise in the heart of the M\u00e9doc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The history of the estate<\/h2>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Haut Barrail was built in 1362. The Gillet family took over the vineyard in 1987 and completely restored the estate before signing its very first vintage in 1995. Prior to this acquisition, the family already owned Vieux Ch\u00e2teau Landon. After the retirement of his parents, Cyril Gillet became the owner of the estate, and has remained so to this day. In 2012, he sold Vieux Ch\u00e2teau Landon to a Chinese investor… a financial transaction that enabled him to make a number of improvements to his facilities.<\/p>\n

The estate covers 15 hectares, with a further 2 hectares reserved entirely for fallow deer and Sika stags. This specificity illustrates the attachment of the owners to the preservation of nature and local animal species.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Haut Barrail is located in the commune of B\u00e9gadan, just 20 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and 45 minutes from Bordeaux.<\/p>\n

Terroir and vineyard characteristics<\/h2>\n

Located on a clay-limestone soil typical of this M\u00e9doc region, Ch\u00e2teau Haut Barrail produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, taking full advantage of the surrounding oceanic climate. Thanks to this favorable environment, the Ch\u00e2teau and its estate are particularly spared the harsh winters that characterize the region.<\/p>\n

The estate is made up of vines whose average age is around thirty years. And in terms of production, no less than a dozen wine ranges are produced here.<\/p>\n

In order to rank among the finest M\u00e9doc wines, the wine produced on the estate undergoes a slow vinification process. After fermentation, the wines are aged in new oak barrels.<\/p>\n

Estate wines<\/h2>\n

Among the cuv\u00e9es produced by Ch\u00e2teau Haut Barrail is the famous Cru Bourgeois. The wine is 65% Merlot, aged in barrels for 12 months. This wine is endowed with very fine tannins and red fruit aromas.<\/p>\n

Another wine worthy of special attention by connoisseurs of fine wines, Tourelle du Barrail is 50% Merlot. It is aged in shavings. This aging technique, which involves adding wood shavings during and after fermentation, gives the wine a little extra aroma compared to other tank-aged wines.<\/p>\n
