Rare, rich, and intense, if you've never had a White Chateauneuf du Pape, Brotte's Hauts de Barville is the place to start! Loaded with aromas of green apple, melon and grapefruit citrus, there is a fat richness to the palate without being over saturated and flabby. Terrific minerality with a crisp, clean finish is the trademark of the Les Hauts de Barville. 2022 will also be one of the best in history, marked with hot temperatures and severe drought. This leads to juicy, ripe Chateauneuf du Pape's with the alcohol kept well in check, with good acidity, richness, and intense flavors. 93 Points from The Wine Spectator in back-to-back vintages, you can't find another White Chateauneuf with this pedigree for the under $30 price.
"There's beautiful fruit purity on display in this wine, with fresh Bosc pear, star fruit, fresh-cut chives and thyme. Buttercream details add to the lushness, while bitterness, chalk-fine tannins and notes of flint bring structure and balance. A very harmonious white. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. Drink now through 2027. 800 cases imported." The Wine Spectator, 93 Points
