Brotte Les Hauts de Barville Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022

Crafted from vines planted in the Pignan, Saint Vierge, Bédine, Beaurenard, Pradel and Palestor plots, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Hauts de Barville evokes aromas of cherries, garrigue, spices, violets and dark wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, tense and fresh, it’s round and fleshy with a delicate core of fruit and a long, ethereal finish. Built around a classic core of fruit, this is a harmonious red wine composed of 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah and 5% Cinsault. Drink date: 2024-2030. Score – 92.
