Description
A rich and creamy red wine from Pessac-Léognan
The estate
Located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, the Château Baret has very ancient origins. The foundations of the estate date back to the 4th century. For several generations, Château Baret belonged to the Lords of Baret. In 1867, the Ballande family, merchants and shipowners, acquired the estate. Over the past twenty years, Château Baret has undergone significant renovations and restructuring, both in the vineyard and in the winery. From vintage to vintage and following the arrival of a new team since 2015, this historic property stands out among the most beautiful references of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
