Bordeaux's Margaux wines benefit from a unique microclimate between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde estuary. This example from Chateau Les Barraillots blends hand picked Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The fruit is gently crushed and has skin contact for up to three weeks in temperature controlled stainless steel and cement vats. 12-14 months in 20% new oak with the remainder in 4-5 year old barrels. Racking occurs every three months.
The result is a wine of deep purple appearance with luscious aromatic notes of prune and marmalade. The palate shows ripe, juicy fruit of blackberries and toasted nuances. Excellent with richly flavoured dishes such as game and slow cooked stews.
Chateau Les Barraillots' 7 hectare property dates back to the late 1920s when Ferdinand Brunet purchased vineyard plots from Palmer and Durfort-Vivens. In Médoc patois
‘barrail’ means fence - the small fences at the chateau separate the vineyard from the neighbouring growths. To this day, the Brunet family manage the estate and they are one of the few crus artisans remaining in Margaux.
