Château La Mothe du Barry Bordeaux Supérieur 2023 is an elegant and well-balanced red wine from the Bordeaux region, crafted from the classic Bordeaux varieties, led by Merlot and complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The Bordeaux Supérieur appellation imposes stricter quality standards, resulting in wines with greater concentration, structure, and ageing potential. The 2023 vintage offers juicy fruit, fresh acidity, and velvety tannins. It combines the timeless elegance of Bordeaux with an approachable and harmonious style, making it suitable for both everyday enjoyment and special occasions.

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.

The bouquet reveals blackcurrant, ripe plum, and black cherry aromas layered with violet, cedar, vanilla, and delicate spice notes. Medium to full-bodied, velvety, and well-structured on the palate, the wine displays ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and a long fruit-driven finish.

Perfect with grilled beef, lamb, roast duck, slow-cooked stews, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses. The wine’s fruit character and elegant structure make it an excellent companion to classic meat-based cuisine.

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 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.
