Domaine la Barroche Signature Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2015
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThe Barroche Julian Barrot Signature is fermented in concrete eggs and aged in foudres and stainless steel tanks. The mix is 62/18/13 grenache, mourvèdre, syrah with bits of vaccarèse, clairette rosé, and cinsault. It is a drier, firmer style of Châteauneuf-du-Pape packed with dark cherry fruit, black raspberry, and stony minerality underneath. Youthful, and will need more bottle ageing to reach its zenith in 2022 and beyond. A serious bottle you could serve now with a favourite Osso Buco.Tasted: 05 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $69.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
