Domaine Barge, Clos de la Ribaudy, AOP Saint-Joseph, Red
Domaine Barge is one of those historic estates of the Northern Rhone: present on the lands of Ampuis since 1860, the Barge family has actively participated in the renown of these wines (especially in the creation of the Cote-Rotie appellation). The dynamic and wiry Julien Barge, carried on these 24 centuries of winemaking and officially takes over the 6 hectares of vines in 2019. Julien and his vines, it is first and foremost a partnership, and he gets the best from it!
Presentation
Nearly a quarter century after the first vintage of Côte Brune, Julien's father created the domaine’s second single-vineyard wine: Le Combard, from a very steep, full-south facing lieux-dit at the southernmost part of the village of Ampuis. The site is extremely steep and covered in glacially deposited large pebbles which is unheard of in Côte-Rôtie. The volcanic subsoil is also unique to the appellation.
