▸ 93 Points – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (Sep 2019)
“… The 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Julien Barrot is a fine effort, combining black cherries and red raspberries on the now and backing the impressive fruit with ample weight, a plush, velvety texture and great purity and length on the finish. It should drink well for a decade or more.”–Joe Czerwinski (Sep 2019)
▸ 93 Points – Jeb Dunnuck (Aug 2019)
“Previously released as the Cuvée Signature, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Julien Barrot checks in as a blend of 60% Grenache, 19% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault, Vaccarèse and other varieties. It's another elegant, seamless wine that has a touch of Burgundy in its texture as well as length and offers notes of ripe black cherries, blackberries, crushed flowers, and ground pepper. Pure, medium-bodied, silky, and finesse-driven, it has a wonderful sense of freshness and purity. Drink it over the coming 15 years or more.”–Jeb Dunnuck (Aug 2019)
