Product notes
With many years of experience in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, Maison Brotte knows the local terroirs like the back of its hand. Les Hauts de Barville wine boasts a distinctively smooth and supple character. It is a rustic Châteauneuf-du-Pape in a softer style that beautifully sets off the purity of the fruit and the primary aromas of the varietals that go into its blend.
Production notes
Appearance – Dark ruby hue with slightly purplish tints. Nose – Intense and fine. In its early youth, the nose is fresh with notes of red and black fruit and liquorice. After four to five years of cellar-ageing, cherry in brandy, strawberry jam, truffle and roasted notes are dominant on the first nose, which then goes on to develop aromas of liquorice, undergrowth, black olive and spices. Palate – When young, the wine is fresh, concentrated and soft with hints of black cherries and garrigue scrubland. With age, the palate becomes very broad with a very long finish and is underpinned by aromas of black cherry jam, truffles, liquorice and undergrowth.
