history
The story of Domaine La Barroche revolves around people, terroir and passion. The passion is for the good things in life – the love of simple, honest pleasures.
Today, Domaine La Barroche is represented by a veritable patchwork of family members, in much that way that Châteauneuf-du-Pape's 13 grape varieties reflect the appellation's complexity.
Each person has their own individual character, but the same love of the terroir. Julien and Laetitia, brother and sister, are totally committed to their terroir, and exemplify the family values handed down to them. They arrived at the family estate in the early 2000s, and their future looks very bright.

A stunning, harmonious and vibrant 100% grenache. The nose expresses notes of sweet cherries, raspberries, currants, wild heros and baking spices. It's full-bodied with fine tannins. Intense but in control, with a restrained character. There is elegance and intensity. It's lively and sharp with a succulent core of sour cherries and some dried orange peel character. The structure is well integrated and harmonious with great balance. Vivid finish with focus and length..
