Description

Domaine la Barroche has been in the Barrot family since the 16th century, in fact even before that when the Popes came from Avignon and decided to spend their summer vacation in Châteauneuf. Fast forward several centuries and Julien the youngest member of the Barrot has joined his father to help produce some stunning and exciting wines that are receiving world-wide recognition.

Robert Parker
The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Signature is the lightest of the four 2006 cuvees. It exhibits a dark ruby color, rich black cherry and black currant fruit, loads of fruit in the mid-palate, a medium-bodied, elegant mouthfeel, and light tannins. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. Christian and Julien Barrot's Domaine La Barroche burst on the wine scene with very good 2004s, and sensational 2005s, especially the out-of-this-world 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Pure. These are four very different styles of Chateauneuf du Pape. The Terroir cuvee comes from the well-known sectors called Pialons and Cabrieres, and is a 95% Grenache offering aged completely in foudre. The Fiancee, made from vineyards in Cabrieres and Terres Blanches, is a more modern-styled offering with the Grenache aged in tank and the Syrah in small barrels. The Pure cuvee is made from 100% old vine Grenache planted in sandy soils in Pointu and Grand Pierre, not far from the sandy soils of Rayas. It is aged totally in old wood foudres.
