Northern Rhône, Domaine Barge, Côtes du Rhône
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). Julien Barge took over the 6 hectares and changed the approached : sheep in the vineyard, no sulphur added in the wines, no filtration, no fining.
Presentation

Winemaking
This 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah blend is sourced from a series of friendly growers in the Ardèche. The wine is fermented in concrete tanks with minimal intervention. Made with whole cluster, same vinification as the Côte-Rôtie and the Saint-Joseph.
