Tasting Tips
64 percent Grenache (several parcels over 100 years old), 17 percent Mourvedre, 8 percent Cinsault, 11 percent Syrah. All Grenache aged in tank and foudres, Mourvedre aged in barriques. Vivid ruby. Strikingly complex, expansive aromas of raspberry and blackberry, garrigue and brown spices. Open‐knit red fruit flavors are concentrated but in no way heavy, with a bracing mineral quality adding spine. 91 points Steve Tanzer Jan/Feb 2009
Winery
Whilst this small estate is relatively new to estate bottling (first vintage 2003) in the list of producers of Chateauneuf, the Barrot family that owns these 12.5 hectares of Chateauneuf‐du‐Pape have been established in the village since about 1400. The average age of the vines at La Barroche is 60 years old and one third of the vineyards are more than 100 years old (Grenache). Most of the vineyards of the estate are located in the north and north‐east of the appellation with just a few plots located close to the town of Chateauneuf‐du‐Pape on the southern side. Vinification here is classic with cement tanks used for fermentation and a mixture of cement and large foudres used for elevage of the Grenache based components and smaller oak used for the ageing of Syrah and Mourvedre based components. In the cellar wine is moved by gravity and done according to the lunar calendar and weather patterns. The wines of La Barroche are modern in the best sense, clean, pure and brilliant. 3 Bottles Available
