Domaine la Barroche

Domaine La Barroche is a historic, family-owned estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a winemaking heritage stretching back centuries. The Barrot family acquired its first land in the village in 1703, while the family traces its connection with Grenache back even further, to the 14th century. Today, the estate is run by siblings Julien and Laetitia Barrot, who represent the latest generation to carry the family’s winemaking tradition forward. Julien joined the domaine in 2002 after studying oenology and business, bringing a modern, meticulous approach to the interpretation of its vineyards.

The estate covers fewer than 15 hectares, predominantly in the northern and north-eastern sectors of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Its vineyards are characterised by an exceptional diversity of soils, including sandy soils, limestone, red clay, rolled pebbles and iron-rich sandstone. Around 80% of the domaine’s parcels have sand at the surface with deeper limestone, while many of its Grenache vines were planted around the beginning of the 20th century and are now more than 100 years old. Grenache dominates alongside Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault and Clairette Blanche, with traditional field blends also incorporating lesser-known varieties.

This combination of old vines, varied terroirs and careful parcel selection is central to La Barroche’s philosophy. The wines seek to express the individual character of each site while retaining the elegance, freshness, silkiness and depth associated with the estate. The range includes the flagship Julien Barrot, Fiancée, Pure, Pure Blanc and Liberty cuvées, reflecting the family’s commitment to both tradition and precise terroir expression.
