The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Julien Barrot is also beautiful. Based on 63% Grenache, 13% Mourvèdre, 11% Syrah, 7% Counoise, 5% Cinsault, and the rest Clairette Rose that was partially destemmed, its deeper ruby/plum hue is followed by terrific aromatics of ripe black cherries, sappy garrigue, licorice, and chalky minerality. It's not massive yet brings a beautiful sense of concentration and mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, and just about flawless balance. A gorgeous 2022, it’s going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and cruise over the following decade or more. ... More details

Darker in character than the 2023 tasted side by side, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Julien Barrot opens with vivid licorice, forest strawberry, lavender, dried herbs and a flicker of violet. Mildly shaped by fine-grained tannins, the full-bodied 2022 needs at least three more years in bottle before starting to show its full potential. An uplifting, savory conclusion rounds it up.

Rated 91 - The 2022 Châteauneuf du Pape “Julien Barrot” bottling from Domaine la Barroche is made from several different parcels of old vines that the family owns, with the average age of vines fully seventy years. The wine is made from a blend of sixty percent grenache, nineteen percent mourvèdre, thirteen percent syrah and the remaining eight percent a mix of other Châteauneuf varieties (mostly cinsault). The wine is raised in a combination of cement, smaller casks and demimuids. The 2022 version tips the scales at a full fifteen percent alcohol and offers up scents of black raspberries, fruitcake, hung game, pepper, bonfire, dark soil tones and a topnote of garrigue. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, plush on the attack and nicely vibrant from the good acids, with a rock solid core of fruit, good soil undertow, firm, chewy tannins and good balance on the long, complex and gently warm finish. This is a big boy that needs time in the cellar to soften up its considerable tannins, but it will be a good example of the vintage. - John Gilman

Overview

Region: Rhone Valley

There are few wine regions in the world with a history as long and illustrious as that of the Rhone Valley in France. For over two thousand years, wines have been produced in this region, benefited by the excellent, mineral-rich soils of the region, and the varied climate which allows a wide range of grape varietals to grow. The Rhone Valley is now split into two quite separate regions, with the north part being characterized by its cooler, continental climate and the limited number of grape varietals grown, and the southern sub-region being perfect for growing a wide range of grapes, and producing an exciting number of different wine styles. The Rhone Valley is associated with elegant, flavorful wines, and certain grape varietals such as Viognier and Syrah, which are adept at expressing the finer features of their terroir.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
