Reviews

James Suckling 91

Full-bodied and powerful, but with plenty of bright red fruit aromas and a hint of hot dry earth, this is a solid Chateauneuf that's just beginning to open up. Good harmony in the long, polished finish. Sustainable. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate 91-93

A blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre, Barville's 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape was looking good last summer. Hints of crushed stone and pencil shavings accent fresh, vibrant cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is silky textured and zesty, with a warm, chocolaty finish. Enjoy it on the young side.

Color: Ruby color with violet sheen.

Palate: Elegant and well balanced, full-bodied, powerful with persistent aromas of red fruit and garrigue. This wine offers a great tasting pleasure and reward the most patients.

Vineyard

The Domaine is Barville homestead Laurent Brotte. 15ha vineyard west of the village, it consists of seven parcels covering two of the oldest and best terroirs of the AOC (red clay and pebbles at a place called "Pradel" and broken limestone instead-said "Beaurenard"). At an altitude of 100 meters, the vines 35 years of age on average overlooking the Rhone and enjoy the health benefits and the mistral and a good exposure to the critical maturity of the berries.

Vinification

Vinegrowing, budding, leafing, green pruning. Manual harvesting and rapid transport of the grapes in small containers to avoid compaction and oxidation of the grape. Destemmed, crushed and fermented at 28 °C followed by maceration for 3 weeks. Load shedding per day during fermentation. Ageing 12 months of syrah, grenache and tannic mourvedres in French oak barrels (1/3 new, 1/3 wine, 1/3 two wines), and more supple and fruity grenache tank and traditional lightning for 12 months.
