Domaine Barraud

The study of oenology has made​​ significant strides over the last fifteen years, and young winemakers are benefitting from this knowledge as they take over from the previous generation. Julien Barraud, in his thirties, is one of those talented young winemakers and is assuring the Domaine Barraud not only maintains its reputation as one of the premier wineries in Pouilly-Fuissé, but will push it even higher. Intelligent and insightful, Julien combines his deep academic know-how with the wealth of experience passed on to him by his father.
Soil determines everything in Pouilly-Fuissé and is reflected in the Barraud line-up. Limestone and clay form the basis of their “En France,” whereas deeper soiled limestone is behind “En Verchère.” The rocky limestone vineyard facing north-west is at the heart of “En Buland.” The domaine is organic certified in 2019. The proportion of new oak in the aging of wines is limited to 15% or 20%, so as not to cover-up the wines’ exceptional mineral quality.
