BARBE Jean-Christophe

Professor of Enology

After a Master’s degree in Chemistry at the Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse (1994) and a PhD from the Université de Bordeaux (2000) devoted to the combination of sulfur dioxide in noble rot white wines, I joined Bordeaux Sciences Agro at the start of the 2001 academic year. My research activity takes place at the UR Œnologie, EA 4577 USC INRA 1366, within the Wine Quality and Identity axis. Since 1997, I have been managing the vinification of the family estate (Sauternes and Graves), which I have been running since 2002.
