Domaine de Barroubio - the soul of Muscat de Saint-Jean-de-Minervois and the great wines of the Minervois
Domaine de Barroubio - Muscat de Saint-Jean-de-Minervois and Minervois wines, the Miquel family since 1405
Domaine de Barroubio is a family estate of the Minervois in Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, held by the Miquel family since 1405, HVE-certified. High-altitude muscats and reds.
More than 1,000 years of history and a family heritage. Domaine de Barroubio, in the heart of the Minervois, draws its roots from medieval history.
The first writings mentioning the property date back to the year 900, kept in the Narbonne archives. Since 1405, the Miquel family has watched over these lands. Still today, the estate is passed down from generation to generation, a symbol of continuity and faithfulness to this unique terroir.
Over time, each member of the family has left their mark. Jean Miquel (1859-1940), a renowned palaeontologist and archaeologist, knew how to combine science and vine. Since the 2000s, Raymond Miquel has led the estate, after long making wine alongside his mother Marie-Thérèse, a pioneer of the modernisation of the local muscat.

A high-altitude terroir between limestone and clay-limestone
The hamlet of Barroubio rises to 300 metres of altitude, on the border between the Aude and the Hérault, across the villages of Saint-Jean-de-Minervois and Bize-Minervois.
The limestone soils give birth to the Muscats of Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, natural sweet wines emblematic of the appellation.
The clay-limestone soils host the red grapes (Syrah, Carignan, Grenache) that express themselves in AOC Minervois.
This geological diversity, combined with a Mediterranean climate marked by heat and the tramontane wind, forges powerful, balanced wines of great elegance.
A responsible, HVE-certified viticulture
Since 2018, Domaine de Barroubio has been certified High Environmental Value (HVE). This certification rewards a sustainable viticulture, respectful of biodiversity and drastically limiting the use of phytosanitary products.
This approach reflects the Miquel family's determination to preserve the richness of their soils and to pass on a living heritage to future generations.
