Located in Bordeaux's Entre-Deux-Mers region, Château Jarr became one of France's pioneering organic wine estates under former owner Paul Bouron. In the early 1960s, while suffering from tuberculosis, Bouron adopted the Lemaire-Boucher method of organic farming in an effort to heal himself — and made a full recovery. In 1964, he co-founded Nature et Progrès, the first association dedicated to promoting organic and biodynamic practices. Today, the estate is run by Gérard Lobre, whose family has been involved in Bordeaux winemaking since 1734. Its 32 hectares sit between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, 60 kilometres from Bordeaux — 28 planted with red varietals (Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot) and 4 with whites (Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sauvignon Gris).
