Julien Barrot
His signature, his cru

In his quest to reveal the best of the terroir, this cuvée is the one which captures the most the essence of the estate and Julien Barrot’s philosophy as a winegrower.

A subtle blend of century-old Grenache vines, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault from the estate’s finest terroirs.

A unique, silky and opulent wine that clearly expresses its distinctive qualities. It also shows great class thank to its deep colour, floral bouquet, freshness, cocoa flavours and delicate aftertaste.

We make a very limited amount of wine, please contact us to know how to have access to our cuvees

Tasting

“It shows wonderful harmony, showcasing delicate raspberries and cherries on the nose. Full-bodied, supple and warm yet silky and so easy to drink, with plenty of length and a touch of chocolate on the finish. “ Joe Czerwinski for the Wine Advocate – August 2019

 “It sports a vibrant purple/ruby color as well as a fresh, racy bouquet of violets, blackberries, cracked pepper and black cherries. It’s medium to full-bodied, and has, again, wonderful purity, and a great finish. This is a feminine, elegant, perfumed vintage for this cuvee.” Jeb Dunnuck – August 2019
