Product Overview
93 Points - Wine Spectator
"Nicely rendered, with waves of warmed cassis, plum pâte de fruit and raspberry reduction rolling through, carried by polished structure and laced with subtle threads of anise, red tea and sanguine. Ends with a sneaky long finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2022 through 2036. 1,100 cases made, 1,000 cases imported." -JM, 7/8/21

"A top-flight effort from this Brotte-owned estate, Barville's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape features alluring scents of lavender, hickory smoke and purple raspberries. A blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, it's full-bodied and supple, creamy and lush, finishing long and silky." -JC, 5/5/22

"This blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre is a showcase of Grenache's easy, juicy blackberry and preserved-strawberry flavors accented by a brambly, peppery edge of Syrah. Matured in a combination of French oak and inert vessels, it keeps primary, youthful fruit at the forefront but maintains a depth and solidness of structure. Freshly balanced in acidity and finishing on fine, furry tannins, it's ready now–2029." -ALI, 11/1/21
