Château Puybarbe, located at the highest elevation of the Côtes de Bourg appellation, overlooks the Gironde estuary on Bordeaux’s right bank. The estate spans 41 hectares, primarily planted with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, cultivated in calcareous-clay soils. Committed to sustainability, Château Puybarbe uses no herbicides or chemical fertilizers and has held HVE (High Environmental Value) certification since 2017. It is also preparing for biocyclic vegan certification, ensuring eco-friendly and vegan production practices.
Owned by the Orlandi family since 1952, the estate was transferred to Riku and Anna Väänänen between 2015 and 2018, who continue the tradition of producing exceptional wines with respect for nature. The vineyard’s careful management, including low yields and the double Guyot pruning method, contributes to the quality and complexity of its wines.
A modern winery, inaugurated in 2001, blends innovation with tradition, creating award-winning wines praised for their elegance and balance. With renowned oenologist Stéphane Derenoncourt consulting, Château Puybarbe consistently produces outstanding wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Côtes de Bourg, while embracing a future rooted in sustainability and excellence.
