Made from 63 % Grenache, 13 % Mourvedre, 11 % Syrah, 7 % Counoise, 5 % Cinsault, 1 % Vaccarese, 1 % other varieties grown mainly in the north/north-east area of the appellation in red clay and sandy soil with average age of vines being 65 yo and nearly 50% of the Grenache being 100+ yo. This gives a wine with a great deal of freshness and extremely refined aromas with an elegant silky mouthfeel. Fully de-stemmed and fermented in concrete tulip-shaped tanks with gentle extraction and gravity flow used throughout the winery over all 4 levels for gentle handling at all stages. Aged for 22 months (longer than previous vintages) on lees in demi-muid barrels, foudres and concrete tanks. The resulting wine is fresh with great elegance yet also texture and great length and depth to the palate. This will surprise with its ageing capacity yet is so approachable already.
‘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.’ 94 points, Jeb Dunnuck, October 2024.
