Fresh Off The Vine

Rich & Fruity

Located 50 km east from Saint-Émilion, the Barouillet family has been growing grapes for at least 8 generations in Pécharment, Monbazillac and Bergerac. Vincent Alexis, who joined his father in 2010, converted the vineyards to organic and is about to obtain the biodynamic certification. 

This is organic and low intervention at its best. Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot, and a hint of Cabernet Franc, the wine is filled with liquorice and ripe red fruit aromas. Notes of blackcurrant reveal a fruity and rich mouthfeel that still maintains freshness. The structure is subtle but very persistent. It will pair perfectly with grilled meats, roasts. It is ideal for friendly occasions with friends.

The freshly harvested grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed before going into stainless steel vats, where they ferment from their indigenous yeasts. This wine is sulphur-free, it is neither filtered nor fined.

Fresh & Juicy

Fabio Motta, originally from Lombardia, began his adventure as a winemaker in Bolgheri in 2010 when he was thirty years old. However, he first came to the area 10 years earlier when he ventured into the vineyards to take part in the grape harvest as a student of agronomy.
It was love at first sight in more ways than one; he fell in love with the territory and met his future wife, Benedetta Satta, daughter of Michele Satta, a vintner who has been part of Bolgheri’s history and progress over the years.

This Bolgheri blend of 50% Merlot, 25% Sangiovese, and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 12 months in cement. Fabio Motta describes it as the wine that launched his winemaking journey, expressing everything he loves about Bolgheri: clear, juicy fruit, harmony, and effortless drinkability. Merlot brings softness and volume, Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure, while the Sangiovese contributes freshness and complexity. Lighter and fresher than expected for the region, it shows silky tannins and aromas of cooked cherry, blackberry jam, mint, and rosemary.

Pair with typical Italian fare - Le Pievi shines next to pizza, light meats and pasta. 

Bold & Juicy

Sourced from the estate’s 16-hectare vineyard, the Closerie Saint Roc is a blend composed of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Crafted according to a holistic, ecosystem-based philosophy incorporating agrobiology, biodynamics (Ecocert and Demeter certified), agroforestry, and permaculture principles, the grapes are hand-harvested and fermented by infusion with indigenous yeasts, without synthetic products. The wine is aged for 24 months in mature oak casks and bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its purity and sense of place.

A deep garnet in the glass, the Closerie Saint Roc impresses with notes of dark fruit and a hint of minerality. A modern Bordeaux style that focuses on clear fruit quality.

Pairs perfectly with braised beef cheeks, lamb, or aged Comté or Manchego.
