Since 1931, five generations of the Brotte family of Maison BROTTE at Châteauneuf-du-Pape have crafted with passion refined wines, distinctively smooth, elegantly fruity and spicy. The Grenache identity, the perfect knowledge of “terroirs” and the arts of vinification and maturation – mainly in 100 year old oak barrels, give such a unique style to Brotte wines.
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is mainly known for its red wines. However, it also produces around 6% of whites of equally high quality. “Les Hauts de Barville” is mainly produced from the family estate Domaine Barville, located at the west of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape village. Out of the 15ha, 2.10 ha are planted with white varieties.
The 2018 vintage produced full-bodied whites that have kept good freshness.

“Marandy” : a tribute to the name and character of the historic Brotte Saint Joseph “cuvée” coming from a so called area.
This delicate and pleasing wine shows in historical records as early as the 16th century. Saint-Joseph (allegedly the protector of scorned husbands) was once lauded by the kings of France as well as Victor Hugo, who mentioned it in ‘Les Misérables’. The majority of the vines are planted on steep slopes. The soil is composed of light schist and gneiss on a granite base. The climate is hot and dry in summer and mild during the other seasons. Syrah finds its perfect balance on this terroir as the poor soils limit yield, and therefore favour the complexity of this great variety.
Rustic character and Honest fruit.

“Secret Barville”, the secret know-how of the Brotte family of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, descendants of Barville line.
Wishing to create a wine that is both complex and powerful, three of the best Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard sites have been selected: at the west of the village, ‘Beaurenard’, with its clay and limestone, develops the freshness of Syrah; at the southeast, “Panisse” and “Bois-Dauphin”, with their sandy soils (covered with pebbles for the latter) develops the finesse of Grenache and Mourvèdre. This wine of great character is the result of a unique collaboration of winegrowers, aiming at revealing an exceptional personality and quality which express fully the terroirs. Remarkably silky.
