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 solid, well-built and precise red with aromas of dark cherries, dried herbs, dried leaves, baking spices and a hint of bark. Full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Solid frame and drive on the palate, with a core of dark cherries and vivid spices bringing vitality and an intense character toward the focused, long finish.
