2018 Brotte de Pere & Fils Chateauneuf-du-Pape Secret Barville
2018 Brotte de Pere & Fils Chateauneuf-du-Pape Secret Barville Ruby tinged with purple highlights. Nose – Supreme finesse, with hints of warm spices, black fruits (cassis, blackberry, cherry) along with roasted notes and red peppercorns. Palate – Elegant with forest fruits dominating the front palate. Unctuous mouthfeel underlined by vanilla tones and supple tannins. Exceptional length promises great ageing potential.
Secret Barville, is the secret know-how of the Brotte family who are descendants of the Barville line. Wishing to create a wine that is both complex and powerful, they have selected three of the best Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard sites. To the West of the village, ‘Beaurenard’, with its clay and limestone, develops the freshness of Syrah. In the Southeast, “Panisse” and “Bois-Dauphin”, with their sandy soils (covered with pebbles for the latter) develops the finesse of Grenache and Mourvèdre. This is a wine with great character and is the result of a unique collaboration of grape growers, aiming at revealing the exceptional personality and quality which is expressed by each site.
Sustainable viticulture is the focus with de-budding, de-leafing and green harvest to limit the yield and increase the quality. Hand harvesting in small crates to avoid berries’ crushing. De-stemming and sorting is followed by a natural fermentation and maceration of around 4 weeks. Cap plunging is carried out manually (no pump). The juices are funneled into French oak barrels (1yr old), where they age 18 months. The wine is bottled by gravity without filtration.
The literal translation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is “Pope’s new castle”, a throwback to the middle ages when the papal court under Clement V was relocated to the region. It was also the first wine region designated as an AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée), a system in France which signifies quality wine.
Some wines are early drinking, but many can age up to 30 years. Pro tip: You can quickly spot a Châteauneuf-du-Pape by the coat of arms with a papal crest embossed on the shoulder of the bottle. All wines from the region bear this symbol.
