Stéphane Puyol deploys here all his know-how in the service of this prestigious Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation.

He has been cultivating vines in the Libournais region (20 hectares in Saint-Emilion and Saint-Emilion Grand Cru) since 1977 with his Ch. Barberousse, certified HVE3 since the 2020 vintage, and his neighbor Ch. Montremblant. He also vinifies in the Bergerac region since the acquisition in 1991 of Ch. Lamothe-Belair, located on the Belair plateau, in the extension of the Saint-Émilion hillside.
