Producer
Joel Duffau comes from an old family of winegrowers - nine generations! With this kind of legacy, his fate was almost predetermined… and it so happened that in 1985, after studying winemaking in France and abroad, he founded the vineyards of Chateau la Mothe du Barry. The property is located in the village of Moulon on the left bank of the Dordogne River, opposite Saint Emilion. Joel's natural curiosity to discover everything new allows him to develop with more successful grape harvesting, viticulture and oenological practices, which in turn allows the production of more and more expressive wines.
Tasting notes
Tasting the Le Mothe du Barry Bordeaux Supérieur 2021 reveals a delightful array of juicy red and black fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spice from careful aging in oak. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with a pleasing balance between fruit flavors, soft tannins, and a fresh acidity that leads to a clean, lingering finish. This wine’s accessible yet nuanced profile makes it an exemplary choice for those seeking to explore the elegance of Bordeaux wines.
Pairing
Pairing this Bordeaux Supérieur with classic dishes like roast chicken, grilled lamb chops, or a hearty vegetable casserole can highlight the wine’s fruit-forward character and balanced structure. It also pairs wonderfully with a selection of soft to medium-hard cheeses, allowing the subtle complexities of both the wine and the cheeses to shine through. These pairings not only enhance the enjoyment of the wine but also showcase its versatility in complementing a wide range of flavors and textures in food.

Chateau La Mothe du Barry

Merlot can produce red wines from medium to full-bodied, with rich but smooth and rounded tannins. Young merlot wine is dominated by aromas of blackberry, raspberry, violet and wild plum, but with aging it can develop aromas of figs, chocolate, leather and truffle.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
