Domaine la Barroche is a family estate that has been passed down from one generation to the next since the 14^th century and it is now managed by sister and brother team, Laetitia and Julien Barrot. Their father, Christian Barrot, is passionate about viticulture and has taken meticulous care of the family’s 12.5 hectare of vines since the early 1970’s. The vineyards are mainly in the north/north-east sector of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a good amount of old vines in some of the best plots of the region. Over the years, Barroche has refined their style working to emphasize finesse over power. The wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape are notoriously powerful and it's exciting to see the progress made each year by the Barrot brother and sister team.

Notes from Julien Barrot -

This vintage offers great intensity, crispy red fruits, licorice, and violets. It has a long and ample mouthfeel. Powerful and structured, this cuvee reveals perfectly the sandy soils of the Domaine.
