Producer Information

Domaine la Barroche is a family-owned wine producer based in Chteauneuf-du-Pape. The domaine was founded in 1703 by Alexandre Barrot and today cultivates the classic southern Rhne grape varieties Grenache, Mourvdre and Syrah, as well as Cinsault, Clairette Blanche and Vaccarse. The domaine’s Grenache vines date back to the first part of the 19th Century, with older grape varieties such as Terret Noir and Clairette Rose also planted in the vineyard. In total, Domaine la Barroche encompasses 15 hectares (36 acres) of vines planted across the northern and northeastern sections of the Chteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The grapes are cultivated on a variety of vineyard plots including Les Terres Blanches, Les Cabrires and Grand Pierre. In these plots, sandy topsoils and large pebbles (the iconic rolled pebbles, or “galets rouls”) lie on deeper layers of limestone, with other plots occupying soils of red clay and red sandstone.
