Romain Tchenio
Owner & Winemaker
When he took over Château Barbanau, Romain threw himself with conviction
into this life project. Aware of the responsibility that a wine estate represents, he trained himself at every stage of the business, surrounding himself with experts to go from enlightened amateur to committed winemaker. Faithful to the spirit of the place, he works every day to preserve its soul, while instilling an ambitious and lasting renewal

Jean-Pierre Confuron
Consulting oenologist
Owner with his brother of the famous 14-hectare Vosne-Romanée estate, he "fell in love with this exceptional site, which has everything it takes to make fine wines". As consultant oenologist, he is in charge of restructuring the land, improving the cuvées and renovating the facilities. He has become so attached to the estate that he now visits every month to monitor the vines and the vinification process.

Originally from Corsica, Pauline holds a degree in oenology from Bordeaux, and joined
Barbanau after completing an internship. Today, she heads up the estate's
vinification department, and puts her skills to work in the service of a lively and demanding organic and biodynamic viticulture
, paying particular attention to natural balances, maturity management and varietal adaptation to climate change.
