From the remarkably consistent Châteauneuf du Pape producer, Domaine La Barroche, Pure is an ultra-limited cuvée handcrafted from a single plot of century-old vines planted in the sandy soils at the junction of the “Grand Pierre”, “Rayas” and “Pointu” districts. All fruit is hand-harvested, rigorously sorted, and is fed via gravity to the underground winery to undergo a slow fermentation in tulip-shaped concrete eggs. It is then aged for 20 months in old oak foudres before being bottled unfiltered. This is an incredible wine of remarkable intensity and complexity yet seamless balance and finesse.
97% Grenache, 3% other varieties
