This wine reflects a long family history: generations of enthusiastic and sometimes fanatical winegrowers, never losing sight of the importance of their terroir. Like the men and women of the Barrot family, Domaine La Barroche is many-faceted and generous. It epitomises the balance, authenticity, and flamboyant character of Châteauneuf-du-Pape – a brilliant blend of hundred year old Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault from the estate's finest terroirs. This is an unique, elegant, silky and opulent wine that invariably expresses its distinctive qualities. It also shows great class thank to its deep colour, floral bouquet, freshness, cocoa flavours and delicate aftertaste.

<strong>The Blend</strong>

95% Grenache, 5% Syrah

Jeb Dunnuck - Wine Advocate

The substantial, modern-styled, dense ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Fiancee is a rich, internationally-styled effort that is at complete odds with the other Chateauneufs from proprietor Julien Barrot. Well-made with outstanding purity, richness, and texture, full-bodied density, and sweet tannins, it should drink well for 10+ years.
