Product Ratings
Wine Enthusiast 95pt

The nose is fresh and pure, with white peach, freshly cut apple, acacia and soft stone. Salinic mouthwatering acidity keeps the palate light, revealing clear Bosc pear and peach fruit. Delicious, refreshing and though it has capacity to age, it is very approachable now.

Wine Spectator 91pt

Creamy and full, with yellow apple and melon offset by salt, flint smoke and mineral notes. Acacia, chrysanthemum, herb and spice details add depth, and juicy acidity brings lift and precision to the mouthwatering, substantial finish. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc.

James Suckling 92pt

Well balanced, driven and flavorful, with aromas of dried pears, spiced peaches and wild herbs, following through to a medium body with flavors of lemons, dried herbs and some spices. Energetic and well built with a persistent finish. Drink or hold.

Terroir

The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is mainly reknown for its red wines. However, it also produces around 6% of whites of equally high quality. “Les Hauts de Barville” is mainly produced from our 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.

Vinification

Once the fruit reaches full maturity it is hand harvested early in the day to keep temperatures low and minimize oxidation. De-stemming followed by a gentle pneumatic press. The juice is cold settled before being fermented over the course of two weeks. There is no malolactic fermentation to preserve the freshness of the final wine. Vinification and maturation is carried out for 6 months in stainless steel vats before bottling in March, April of the year following harvest.
