BARRIERE FRERES SA - GRANDS BORDEAUX DEPUIS 1932

2nd wine of Ch. Beaumont. The vineyard of Château Beaumont has been known since 1824 and thirty years later its splendid castle in a Renaissance style was built. Various famous owners follow one another hoisting Beaumont to the forefront of the “Crus Bourgeois Supérieurs”. With the arrival of Mr. Etienne Priou (Manager) and with the guidance of Mr. Philippe Blanc (Ch. Beychevelle), the estate has taken a noticed qualitative turn-around since 1986 and continues to confirm its position among the sure values of its appellation and classification.

The name of the estate comes from “Roche” (rock) “taillé” (cutting) as the high amount of limestone was used for construction of famed estates in the region. The estate is situated in the commune of Ordonnac in immediate proximity to J.H. Delon’s, Ch. Potensac. Roc Taillade has belonged to the same Francesco family since 1870 and is run today by Stéphanie and Claude (5th generation!).

Beauregard Lagupeau is situated in the south of the Graves AOC. With an altitude of 112 meters, this vineyard is one of the highest in the appellation. It has been owned by the same family since 1850, and today the sixth generation of winemakers is represented by Jacques and Marie-Laure Perromat. Beauregard also produces an excellent red wine !

This beautifully estate, west of the village of Saint Emilion and in immediate proximity to 1st Growth Château Figeac, is owned by the Hebert-Maison family since 1933.

Château Clinet, one of the most prestigious estates of the appellation, is located in the heart of the Pomerol vineyard. Fleur de Clinet, “the other great wine from Ch. Clinet”, created in 2006, is essentially the 2nd wine of Ch. Clinet (even though some juice comes from neighboring estates selected by Ronan Laborde). The vinification and ageing process are carried out in state-of-the- art cellars by Clinet’s team to reveal the treasures of this outstanding appellation.

Vieux Peyrouquet is a charming little estate situated in Saint Pey D’Armens, just neighboring Ch. Lafleur Morange (Classified Growth Saint Emilion). This genuine and authentic domaine managed by the 5th generation of the Cruchet-Pocero family, produces wines of outstanding terroir and intense pleasure. The family moto, In Vino Veritas, and constantly their consistent qualitative efforts make Vieux Peyrouquet a wonderful value.

A well managed estate belonging to the charming and enthusiastic young couple, Sarah & Bruno Marchand. In order to create a natural ecological balance in this romantic hilly corner of Saint Emilion, Sarah and Bruno have introduced flowers around the vineyards (and even in between the rows) as well as bee-hives. These changes help to significantly decrease the use of pesticides. In order to improve the quality of the wine, there is a “sainé” (20% of their production) and makes a 2nd wine (sold in bulk). Only the best of the best will be used for the main wine, Ch. Haut-Bonneau !

Through the generations, it has always been transmitted from mothers to daughters. Today, Larrivaux is owned by two Carlsberg sister and managed by Bérangère. This is in perfect correlation to the dominate (feminine) Merlot planted at this charming Chateau.
