Brotte - Secret Barville, CDP, 2018, 750ml

“Secret Barville, the secret know-how of the Brotte family of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, descendants of Barville line.”
Wishing to create a wine that is both complex and powerful, we have selected two of the best Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard sites. At the west of the village, ‘Beaurenard’, with its clay and limestone, develops the freshness of Syrah. At the southeast, “Panisse” , with its sandy soils develops the finesse of Grenache and Mourvèdre. This wine of great character is the result of a unique collaboration of winegrowers, aiming at revealing an exceptional personality and quality which express fully the terroirs.

葡萄分別種植在全個教皇新堡區最高質的葡萄田，種出最好的Grenache, Syrah及Mourvedre。

Sustainable viticulture, de-budding, de-leafing and green harvest to limit the yield and increase the quality. Hand harvesting in small 12 kg cases to avoid berries’ crushing. De-stemming and sorting with viniclean. Natural fermentation and maceration of around 4 weeks. Cap plunging carried out manually (no pump). The juices are funneled in French oak barrels (one wine barrels), where they age 18 months. The wine is bottled by gravity without filtration.

可持續種植方式，全人手採摘，18個月法國橡木桶陳釀，無過濾入瓶。

Colour – Ruby tinged with purple highlights.

Nose – Supreme finesse, with hints of warm spices, black fruits (cassis, blackberry, cherry) along with roasted notes and red peppercorns.

Palate – Elegant with forest fruits dominating the front palate. Unctuous mouthfeel underlined by vanilla tones and supple tannins. Exceptional length promises great ageing potential.
