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.
