Domaine La Barroche, Chateauneuf du Pape PURE, 2005
Twenty years on, this is one of Châteauneuf's most singular cuvées at full maturity. La Barroche is a small family estate in CdP run by Julien Barrot, who took the reins in 2002 and has since vaulted the domaine into the top tier of the appellation. PURE is exactly what its name promises — 100% Grenache from the estate's oldest vines (some pushing 120 years), unblended, undiluted, a pure expression of CdP's emblematic grape from a singular site. The 2005 vintage was one of the great Châteauneuf years of the modern era — concentrated, structured, built for the long arc — and two decades in bottle have softened the edges into something silky, complex, and quietly profound. The kind of bottle you open for a serious occasion and remember for years afterward. Drink now through the next decade with full attention.
