Critics Scores
Wine Spectator
Concentrated but remarkably refined, this features a large core of raspberry, red currant and black cherry fruit that is pure, silky and beautifully defined. Hints of shiso leaf, iron and black tea line the finish, which has serious length thanks to finely beaded acidity. A deft marriage of power and grace. Best from 2015 through 2030.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.
