The Château de Barbe was owned by the Marquis de Barbe until 1774, but the vineyards exist since the 14th century.

In 1680, the Marquis de Barbe, had the Chapelle de Barbe built next to the Gironde. A small port allowed vessels to dock there in order to load wine barrels for shipping to the Americas and Northern countries. Rebuilt in the 18th century, this property was transmitted through the generations, to Isabelle de Brivazac. (daughter of Léon, the Baron de Brivazac and Alice de Lur-Saluces). Isabelle married Count Savary de Beauregard and it was their descendants who owned the estate until 1993.
For the last 20 years, an integral part of the Richard family who continue to make Barbe and its team a reference in the appellation Côtes de Bourg.

The vineyard covers 66 hectares divided into 41 hectares in Côtes de Bourg, chalky-clay soil over limestone rich in starfish fossils to produce Château de Barbe. Merlot is mostly planted on these soils with more shallow rooting and greater water retention allowing optimum maturity.
​

12 hectares in Bordeaux Supérieur as Chapelle de Barbe and 13 hectares in Bordeaux as Chapelle de Brivazac. These appellations are produced on alluvial soils along the Gironde called “palus”.
