Domaine La Barroche Chateauneuf du Pape Pure 2020

"Pure" 2020 from Domaine La Barroche is an ode to Grenache, the emblematic grape variety of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Sourced from a single parcel of century-old vines located at the junction of the "Grand Pierre," "Rayas," and "Pointu" districts, this wine is the product of an exceptional terroir with sandy soils. Vinified in tulip-shaped concrete tanks and aged for 18 months in old foudres, this cuvée boasts remarkable finesse and complexity.<br>On the nose, it reveals captivating aromas of ripe cherries and raspberries, enhanced by spicy and floral notes. The palate opens with a silky attack, evolving into a balanced structure where power and elegance harmonize beautifully. Fine tannins and persistent freshness lead to a long and savory finish. This 2020 vintage is already enjoyable but also holds great aging potential for years to come.
