Domaine de la Barroche Pure Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020 is a 100% Grenache from some of the oldest vines of the Barroche domaine. A ripe, full-bodied Southern Rhône red wine, the Pure cuvée is typically aged in a combination of large oak foudre and cement tank before being bottled unfiltered. The winemaker has a stylistic preference for wines with an emphasis on finesse rather than power. This is a very limited production bottling - just a single foudre was made in 2020. "A heavenly perfume of black cherries kirsch liqueur roasted garrigue Asian spices liquorice and graphite. This carries to a full-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape revealing remarkable elegance and purity ultra-fine tannins perfect balance and a great finish. I`m not sure it has the same level of grandeur as the 2019 but it`s not far off and time will tell. Regardless this beauty has everything you could want in a great wine. richness power elegance and complexity. It`s a true `Wow` wine in every regard and will shine for 15-20 years." Jeb Dunnuck, 2021

Winemaker Julien Barrot is making a much more elegant rendition of single varietal Grenache Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pure, compared to the 2005 vintage of this cuvée with its otherworldly complexity and intensity. The 2020 vintage opens up with enticing aromas of crushed violets, blood orange, raspberry, forest strawberry, black cherry, dried herbs, mint and licorice. Showing absolutely no hard edges, plush tannins envelop the palate of this full-bodied red impeccably well balanced by lively acids. The taster is left with a bold finish that goes on for well over a minute. Only 4,500 bottles produced.Nicolas Greinacher1st June 2023
