Sophie Burguet & Jean-Christophe Barron
Jean-Christophe Barron
A pillar of the estate, Jean-Christophe Barron has been Technical Director at Château de Rouillac for almost 13 years now. His day-to-day work involves managing production resources, teams and product quality, from the vineyard to the cellar, and from optimising work tools to blending, with the support of the highly reputed oenologist Eric Boissenot. Naturally warm and caring, Jean-Christophe is committed to guiding his teams towards excellence, ensuring the proper development of the vineyards and preserving the environment to produce wines from a living terroir.
A dedicatedTEAM
Éric Boissenot
Naturally, he became the estate's consultant oenologist, agreeing to exercise his talents for the first time in the prestigious Pessac-Léognan appellation. Eric Boissenot, who has always advised most of the Médoc's premier crus classés (Lafitte-Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, etc.), takes the time to taste, to recognise his terroir and to immerse himself in its specific characteristics and character. He blends the wines with delicacy to guide them to their finest expression.
Éric Boissenot
In line with the philosophy of Laurent Cisneros and Jean-Christophe Barron, the technical director, he works with great precision on the finesse and concentrates the quality of the tannins with a constant search for the right balance, leading you to an excellence that matches his talent. This personal touch is a real influence that has enhanced the style and ambition of Château de Rouillac wines from the moment he took charge for the 2010 vintage.
