Château Laubarit
In 1780 the Dumas and Simonneau families established what is now Château Laubarit in Saint‑Pierre‑de‑Bat, a village in the Entre‑Deux‑Mers Haut‑Benauge area of Bordeaux. The estate was converted to certified organic farming in 1965, far ahead of its neighbors, and was later certified biodynamic by Demeter in 2002.
Pierre‑Abel and Nicole Simonneau handed the reins to their son, Florent, and daughter‑in‑law, Isabelle. Isabelle earned a technical degree in winemaking and wine business in the 1990s and began managing the domaine in 1994. Today she and Florent farm clay and limestone slopes with iron‑rich loess topsoil, and they vinify with native yeasts and stainless equipment, keeping additions low in line with their organic and biodynamic practice.
