Chateau Baret 2019

The typical character of a fine red wine from Pessac-Leognan

The estate
Located in the Pessac-Leognan appellation, Chateau Baret boasts ancient origins. The foundations of the estate date back to the 4th century. For several generations, Chateau Baret belonged to the Lords of Baret. In 1867, the Ballande family of merchants and shipowners acquired the estate. Over the past twenty years, Chateau Baret has undergone major renovations and restructuring, both in the vineyard and in the winery. From vintage to vintage, following the arrival of a new team in 2015, this historic estate has stood out as one of the most beautiful references of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
