Description
Château Barreyre is an estate steeped in history, with its building erected in 1774 by Nicolas Barreyre, a member of a renowned Bordeaux family. The vineyard was planted in 1793 and now spans twenty hectares. Located in Macau in Médoc, it benefits from the beneficial influence of the Garonne and a unique terroir composed of palus soils—clay-rich lands that give the wines a distinctive signature and remarkable balance.
Tasting Notes
“Richly scented with vibrant black bramble fruit on the palate. There’s generous flavour but the tannins and the overall structure is still quite narrow and focussed so it’s not so wide and expansive at this point. Juicy and lively though, with plenty of energy and purity. Everything feels very purposeful and controlled. Sleek and defined.” [89/100 Points – Georgina Hindle – May 2023 – www.decanter.com]
