Château Barrabaque, on the lands of Fronsac
The 10-hectare vineyard that is located on the slopes overlooking the Dordogne river is directly south-facing. We benefit from a terroir that is clay and limestone in its majority.
Barrabaque is located on the two AC’s of Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac.
Being fully concerned with the preservation of health and respect for the environment, we practice a reasoned culture of the vines. The cultural and vinification methods combine both tradition and modern techniques: vines that are tilled according to the particular terroir, hand-picked harvest on the slopes, careful sorting of the harvest, temperature-controlled fermentation and ageing in oak barrels.
Château Barrabaque, red wines
We produce wines that are both fruity and fleshy emanating from 4 historical grape varieties from our appellation: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec.

Closures
The cork is of primordial importance in ensuring the ageing of the wines over time!
For the reds, from the 2018 vintage on, we innovated by using the DIAM corks (“fleur de liège” line). The DIAM cork is guaranteed against cork taint. This cork is produced by a French enterprise that is respectful of the environment.
For the dry whites and the rosés, we employ reusable glass closures.
