The young superstar Julien Barrot has just completed

construction on a new cellar.

Looking at his 2015s, there are only two cuvées pro-

duced, the classic Châteauneuf du Pape, which is

62% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre and the rest Syrah

and other permitted grapes, and the 100% Grenache

Châteauneuf du Pape Pure.

The Pure cuvée is always made in a single, old fou-

dre, and while it can normally be reserved and diffi-

cult to be evaluated from barrel, it was singing on

this occasion.

It’s also worth noting his new Vin de France cuvée,

which is from a newly acquired parcel of old vines. In

addition, it gets a small part of declassified Château-

neuf du Pape grapes, hence why it’s released as a Vin

de France and not a Côtes du Rhône (Châteauneuf du

Pape can only be declassified into Vin de France, not

Côtes du Rhône). I wasn’t able to get a suggested re-

tail price, but I suspect it will represent a terrific va-

lue.

La Barroche, Signature 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Blueish purple. Straightforward nose with many elements and a texture that

is just the right side of syrupy. Then enough tannins to keep it fresh and

structure.
