Rhone / France

Red

The blockbuster 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac shows classic garrigue notes intermixed with ground pepper, lavender, and sweet black currant and black cherry notes with hints of raspberry and olive. The wine is full-bodied has a boatload of tannin, fabulous concentration, and a finish of close to 50 seconds. This is a brilliant Barbe Rac that should be at its best between 2010 and 2025.

The producer’s name is inextricably tied to the hill of Hermitage, from where its most coveted single-vineyard wines hail. Chapoutier owns a remarkable 25% of the appellation, and its head office is in nearby Tain l’Hermitage.
