"A blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, Barville's 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape was looking good last summer. Hints of crushed stone and pencil shavings accent fresh, vibrant cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is silky textured and zesty, with a warm, chocolaty finish. Barrel Sample: (91-93)" —Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Domaine Barville is pretty and floral, with lively wild strawberry and redcurrant fruit as well as medium-bodied richness, plenty of garrigue and sappy flower nuances, fine tannins, and solid length on the finish. This elegant, feminine, seamless 2022 will shine right out of the gate. The blend is 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre that was all destemmed and brought up in a mix of foudre (50%), old barrels, and concrete. Barrel Sample: (90-92)" —Jeb Dunnuck
