Domaine La Barroche

Julien Barrot has scaled back the number of wines in his portfolio "to focus on quality over variety," so there is no longer a Fiancee bottling. "But who knows what will happen down the road, if the personality of the vintage and fruit suggests it's a good idea," he added. Barrot described 2010 as "a vintage that the growers loved because everything fell into place and there were no problems with the weather, or anything else, except for the low yields." Two thousand ten, he went on, was "a great, great year for mourvedre because it got completely ripe but stayed fresh, so there's excellent backbone to wines that have a lot of it." Two thousand nine, on the other hand, "was a year where you had to walk a line between too much ripeness and just enough. It wasn't '07 style but compared to 2010 it took a lot more work to make sure that the grapes didn't get too ripe."
