Château Barbebelle is one of the oldest wine estates of the Aix countryside, 16 km north of Aix-en-Provence on the road to the Luberon. Four generations of the Herbeau family have farmed its 50 hectares of clay-limestone hillside vines at around 370 metres, now led by Madeleine Herbeau and her husband Valentin, with oenologist Thomas Benard. The whole estate is certified organic.
