Wine Advocate: 95/100 "One of the greatest expressions of pure Grenache out there, Barrot’s 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Pure comes from a single plot (near Grand Pierre, Rayas and Pointu) of 100+-year-old Grenache vines that are planted in pure sand soils. While this wine sometimes gets classified as a modern Châteauneuf , the reality is it’s traditional all the way, with only partial destemming, vinification in concrete vats and aging all in foudre. It offers up a smorgasbord of kirsch liqueur, sweet cherries, spice, incense and flowers, and this is followed by a fabulous pure, elegant, yet rich and concentrated effort that has no hard edges, sweet tannin and blockbuster length. It’s one of the stars of the vintage and will thrill for 10-15 years.."(Wine Advocate Okt. 2014) Wine Spectator: 93/100 "Offers a plump core of plum, black cherry and raspberry fruit, lined with singed anise and red licorice notes. Displays a juicy, brambly feel through the finish. Fruit-driven, but delivers ample depth for the vintage. Drink now through 2025."(Wine Spectator Nov. 2013)
