Description: “Secret Barville, the secret know-how of the Brotte family of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, descendants of Barville line.” Wishing to create a wine that is both complex and powerful, we have selected two of the best Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard sites. At the west of the village, ‘Beaurenard’, with its clay and limestone, develops the freshness of Syrah. At the southeast, “Panisse” , with its sandy soils develops the finesse of Grenache and Mourvèdre. This wine of great character is the result of a unique collaboration of winegrowers, aiming at revealing an exceptional personality and quality which express fully the terroirs.
Aroma: Supreme finesse, with hints of warm spices, black fruits (cassis, blackberry, cherry) along with roasted notes and red peppercorns.
Palate: Elegant with forest fruits dominating the front palate. Unctuous mouthfeel underlined by vanilla tones and supple tannins. Exceptional length promises great ageing potential.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with the finest “foie gras” with truffles, chicken stew with black olives, a platter of strong cheeses or with a chocolate mousse.
Serving: Serve at 17 °C. Open 4 hours in advance.
