Looking for a ready to drink Chateauneuf du Pape that combines elegance with power, and doesn't break the bank? Yes please! A traditional blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre, aged in 30% new French oak barrels, you get a lot of tannin, flavors, alcohol, but kept very fresh. It's a perfect expression of the winery style that is just starting to hit its window.
"Lots of ripe black fruits (blackberries, black cherries) emerge from the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts De Barville, another complex, medium to full-bodied, wonderfully textured 2020. Herbes de Provence, sweet garrigue, and peppery nuances define the nose, and it’s already drinking nicely, yet should evolve for a decade." Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points
"Exuberant and expressive, this offers cherry coulis, raspberry, red licorice and warm earth notes that are juicy and open-knit, yet propped up with snappy acidity, a refreshing surge of fine mineral and a note of tar. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2030." The Wine Spectator, 92 Points
"Checking in at 15% alcohol, the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Hauts de Barville is a shimmering pale ruby. It mixes bright aromas of red and black cherry, raspberry, strawberry, cloves and wood smoke. Full-bodied, concentrated and wrapped in ripe tannins, refreshing acidity balances it before closing with a pleasant finish." Vinous Media, 92 Points
"A solid effort by the Brotte team, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Hauts de Barville is 76% Grenache, with the balance split between Mourvèdre and Syrah. Scents of cherries, suede and dusty earth mark the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is a bit taut, but nicely so, with an attractive push-pull between ripeness and acidity, plus silky tannins on the long, expressive finish." The Wine Advocate, 92 Points
