Domaine La Barroche

Aficionados of the red cuvée Pure will be saddened to hear that Julien Barrot couldn’t produce the 2022 vintage. "Almost the entire vineyard was hit by severe hail on the 14th of August," he explained. However, relief comes from the magnificent 2021 vintage, a concentrated and polished rendition with spicy complexities. Beyond the devastating August hail, Barrot noted the small skin-to-juice ratio in the berries for the 2022s. This required extremely careful extraction to avoid producing overly tannic wines. Additionally, 2022 marked the earliest harvest in Barrot’s career, starting on the 24th of August. A highlight at this estate is the promising 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Fiancée, an equal blend of Grenache and Syrah, with the potential to rival the all-star 2016. To round things off, Barrot shared a simple Vin de France he bottles under the La Barroche label rather than Domaine La Barroche. While the 2021 didn't impress me, I thoroughly enjoyed the inviting and easy-going 2022.
