The Domaine Barville Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2021, owned by the Brotte family, is a true embodiment of balance, freshness, and complexity. Sourced from vineyards located on the finest terroirs of the appellation, this wine showcases the richness of Grenache and the boldness of Syrah.
Its aromatic profile is complex and inviting, with notes of fresh red fruits and spices. On the palate, it reveals a velvety texture and refreshing elegance, with blackberry, raspberry, and subtle hints of mint and pepper.
The vineyards thrive on red clay and rolled pebbles under a Mediterranean climate, ensuring optimal ripeness. Winemaking respects gentle grape handling, and aging is carefully divided between French oak barrels for tannic varieties and concrete vats for the fruit-driven Grenache.
