L’Esprit de Barberousse is Château Barberousse’s signature cuvée of excellence, crafted by Stéphane Puyol in the heart of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation.

Produced through rigorous plot selection, this cuvée focuses on Merlot and undergoes a long aging process—often around 14 months in new French oak barrels—to structure the wine and give it its aristocratic dimension.

The color is a deep, intense, and brilliant ruby.
On the nose, L’Esprit elegantly combines aromas of ripe black fruits, touches of mocha, vanilla, and gingerbread, supported by toasted and lightly roasted nuances.
On the palate, it stands out with its concentration, well-structured yet velvety tannins, and rich texture, while maintaining a freshness that balances its power.
A delicious finish with a beautiful length, licorice, and subtle oak.

Typical of Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, this wine offers a successful combination of expressive fruit, noble aging, and significant aging potential—a wine for discerning wine lovers who appreciate characterful wines.

It’s ideal with red meats, duck, or a leg of lamb.

Château Barberousse, under the leadership of Stéphane Puyol, is a Saint-Émilion estate where family tradition and rigorous viticultural production combine. Stéphane Puyol is known and recognized in Saint-Émilion for his rigor and consistency in his various wines.
He knows the land and produces a timeless product whose quality remains consistent vintage after vintage.

Located on hillsides with well-drained clay-gravel soils, the estate practices sustainable viticulture to bring out the best of the Libourne terroir.
The estate produces 80% Merlot, with the remainder split between Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
