Bodega Chacra’s “Barda” Pinot Noir comes from biodynamic vineyards in Patagonia’s Río Negro Valley, founded by Piero Incisa della Rocchetta. It reflects Chacra’s drive for purity and finesse.

Hand-harvested fruit is fermented with native yeasts and aged in concrete and used oak. A vibrant, mineral Pinot that captures Patagonia’s cool, wind-swept character.

Jean Marc Roulot was at dinner at Guillaume d’Angerville’s place with their friend Piero, the founder of Argentina's culty Chacra winery. Piero mentioned, while discussing his Patagonian terroir, his desire to try making a white cuvée in Argentina.

Now, Roulot is one of the best Chardonnay growers on the planet, so he’d be a good guy to chat up about making white wines of terroir. But he doesn’t seem a likely candidate to jet off to Patagonia and start making Argentinian Chardonnay.

But Piero had found a unique terroir in Patagonia and Roulot was intrigued. Intrigued enough to propose working with him, and when Roulot visited he found, in his words, a “magical place” where “nature is so strong.” This was an opportunity to do something new: work with a friend, “not trying to make a copy of Burgundy in Argentina—totally different. Trying to produce a good Chardonnay in Argentina.”

And that’s what they’ve done. Piero’s magical terroir and Roulot’s Chardonnay touch come together to make an amazing, totally new white wine. The Chacra Mainque Chardonnay comes from three plots with sand over mineral soils with river rocks and limestone. Desert-like weather (hot days, cold nights) make ripe fruit with good acidity.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

"Sourced from younger plantings at the estate with declassifications from the upper-level bottlings, the 2024 Barda is a pitch-perfect introduction to the Chacra range. It leads with a radiantly floral and red-fruited bouquet supported by smoky, earth-tinged accents while sacrificing no purity. The palate is silky and suave, smoothly flowing into a balanced, persistent finish. It fermented with 15% whole clusters and matured in equal parts cement amphora and barrique, of which 10% was new." -Matthew Luczy

"The entry point to Chacra’s Pinot universe, Barda sets the scene for what is to come and the 2024 vintage is the brightest yet, bursting with fresh red cherry, rose petal and dried raspberry. A subtle, saline mineral edge and hint of wild rosemary lend complexity. Crunchy, energetic and thoroughly enjoyable."
