Founded in 1905, Domaine Barraud has been a leading estate in Pouilly-Fuissé ever since, and in 1947 one of the first to bottle their production rather than selling it in bulk. You can tell a domaine is serious about its wines when it makes no less than seven different Pouilly-Fuissé’s in small quantities, rather than blending them into one. Like Helmut Dönnhoff in the Nahe, the Barrauds believe that each vineyard gives such a different expression that it would be a crime to blur them by blending. They also make several different Saint-Vérans, and three separate Macon-Villages. Since 2006, Daniel and Martine Barraud have been handing over the estate to their son Julien. His sister Anaïs joined in 2015.
2020 was an important year for the Barrauds. The new classification of vineyards in the Mâconnais took effect, and for the first time they were able to offer the wines from some of their vineyards as premier crus (En France, La Maréchaude ‘Clos de la Verchère’ and Sur La Roche). It is an excellent and long overdue start on the road to the region being taken more seriously.
