| Over de wijn |
A very seductive and full bodied red wine made of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah, made by the emerging producer Domaine la Barroche from Chateauneuf du Pape. This wine is one of the most extraordinairy Chateauneufs of the vintage 2006 which is a fantastic vintage.
The wine is made from 50% Grenache from the 100-year-old Terres Blanches plot on early-ripening slopes. Wine from these grapes has considerable finesse and silkiness.50% Syrah from the Cabri plot, which contributes fruit, power, colour, and cocoa aromas.
Both grape varieties are fermented in a single concrete tank. Gentle extraction: cold pre-fermentation maceration for less than a week for the Syrah in order to retain all the fresh fruit aromas. Maceration in tank for 4 weeks. Ageing for 18 months in both Burgundy barrels and
concrete.
Pairs very well, with all kinds of red meats, wild boar, roast suckling pig and strong seasoned dishes. Drinktemperature is 16-17 degrees Celsius. Drink until 10 - 15 years after the year of production.
Robert Parker:
Christian and Julien Barrot’s Domaine La Barroche burst on the wine scene with very good 2004s, and sensational 2005s, especially the out-of-this-world 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Pure. These are four very different styles of Chateauneuf du Pape. The Terroir cuvee comes from
the well-known sectors called Pialons and Cabrieres, and is a 95% Grenache offering aged completely in foudre. The Fiancee, made from vineyards in Cabrieres and Terres Blanches, is a more modern-styled offering with the Grenache aged in tank and the Syrah in small barrels.
The Pure cuvee is made from 100% old vine Grenache planted in sandy soils in Pointu and Grand Pierre, not far from the sandy soils of Rayas. It is aged totally in old wood foudres
