Note di degustazione
Bright red. Lively, pinot-like aromas of red berries, minerals and flowers. The floral quality builds on the palate, which offers sweet redcurrant and strawberry fruit and an exotic apricot note. There's a feminine white wine character to this wine that's intriguing. Finishes brisk, tangy and persistent.

The sexy, lush, dark ruby-hued 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Terroir reveals classic notes of kirsch liqueur and licorice, and a fleshy, heady mouthfeel. It represents a downsized version of the old vine cuvee of Grenache called Pure. It is a beauty to enjoy over the next 7-8 years. Christian and Julien Barrot’s Domaine La Barroche burst on the wine scene with very good 2004s, and sensational 2005s, especially the out-of-this-world 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Pure. These are four very different styles of Chateauneuf du Pape. The Terroir cuvee comes from the well-known sectors called Pialons and Cabrieres, and is a 95% Grenache offering aged completely in foudre. The Fiancee, made from vineyards in Cabrieres and Terres Blanches, is a more modern-styled offering with the Grenache aged in tank and the Syrah in small barrels. The Pure cuvee is made from 100% old vine Grenache planted in sandy soils in Pointu and Grand Pierre, not far from the sandy soils of Rayas. It is aged totally in old wood foudres.
