Julien Barrot (above) is making a lot of noise in Châteauneuf-du-Pape (and here). Since 2003 he’s been “estate” bottling the wines at his family’s domaine which for years supplied some of the best fruit for the négociant market. In fact the vineyards, which includes century-old parcels in the celebrated Grande Pierre, have been in his family for over 300 years.
Julien has brought “biodynamic” practices to these old vineyards, and vinifies very traditionally; concrete tanks, and neutral barrels to preserve the terroir.
Keep an eye out for his wines at our stores…his fame is growing quickly, and his wines sell out quickly!
