Julien Barrot Barroche Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 is a full-bodied blended red wine from the Southern Rhône Valley. Châteauneuf-du-Pape Julien Barrot Barroche 2022 presents a deep ruby colour. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, complemented by subtle hints of spice and earth. The palate is full-bodied with a robust structure, showcasing flavours of cherries, leather, and herbs, reflecting the traditional Grenache-dominated blend typical of the region. The tannins are firm yet manageable, making for a balanced mouthfeel. Julien Barrot emphasises organic farming practices and minimal intervention, allowing the unique characteristics of the grapes to shine through. While approachable now, this wine has the potential for further development over the next few years. The 2022 is available here in double-magnum format.
