Product description
This distinguished red wine hails from the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation in the Southern Rhône Valley of France. Maison Brotte is a historic family business established in 1931 by Charles Brotte, a pioneer in bottling Rhône Valley wines. Currently managed by the fourth and fifth generations of the Brotte family, the winery follows a philosophy of highlighting the purity of fruit and the specific characteristics of their limestone and sand-based terroirs.
Wine Description
The Brotte Chateauneuf du Pape 'Les Hauts de Barville' presents a deep ruby red colour with slight violet reflections in its youth. The sensory profile is intense and refined, featuring complex aromas of ripe red fruits, black cherries, and blackberries, often accented by notes of liquorice, spices, and sun-dried garrigue. On the palate, the wine is rich and unctuous, offering a supple and creamy texture balanced by fresh acidity and fine-grained, mineral tannins. This blend is predominantly Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre, and occasionally a small percentage of Cinsault.
