Domaine Barou is a family estate, run organically since 1971 by Alexus Barrou. After studying viticulture, Emmanuel, his son, turned the estate towards arboriculture and, above all, viticulture. So he replanted vines in Saint Joseph and Condrieu. The family estate tends to work the soil biodynamically. Their aim is to increase the surface area of foliage and breathe new life into the soil.
