The vineyard is planted to Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Franc (30%) with the average age of the vines 40+ years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eHistorically the family, who have owned the estate for over 150 years, used to sell their grapes but in 1995 they decided to make their own wine. Considerable investment was necessary and new thermo-regulated tanks were installed, as well as a maturation cellar - all to improve quality. The team at JP Moueix now guide the winemaking at Barrail du Blanc and handle sales of this super Grand Cru that offers tremendous value and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-barrail-du-blanc-saint-emilion-grand-cru","title":"Château Barrail du Blanc Saint Émilion Grand Cru 2022","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Barrail du Blanc produces wines that are exceptional for their depth and consistency. Owned by the same family for over 150 years, this property is located in the commune of Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens, in the south of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation. The vineyard, averaging 25 years of age, is planted on gravel and clay soils that allow for good drainage and are particularly well-suited to Cabernet Franc. The grapes are treated with attentive care by Monsieur Elliès and his daughter, Nathalie, in the vineyard and in the cellar. Ploughing, green harvesting, and leaf cropping are favoured in order to ensure a consistent maturity of the fruit. The wine is vinified in stainless-steel and aged partly in French oak barrels (1\/3 new). The resulting wine is charming, supple, elegant, and can be kept for five to ten years.[#intro]Charming \u0026amp; accessible, this is a fine Saint Emilion Grand Cru that wont break the bank...[\/intro]\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Barrail du Blanc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17178201817146,"sku":"A22BARRAILDBSEGC-1","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/Barrail_du_Blanc.jpg?v=1538403378"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/collections\/Collection_Image_67f56986-dd55-420b-9c1f-824644b38b03.jpg?v=1532587657","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/collections\/chateau-barrail-du-blanc-saint-emilion-grand-cru.oembed","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
