As readers may recall, Julien Barge lost most of the Côte Brune vines that he had been farming, as they were owned by a cousin who decided to go in another direction with the fruit from this parcel, so Julien no longer had sufficient surface area here to continue to make his Côte Brune bottling. Consequently, he decided to blend his small parcel in Côte Blonde, as well as additional fruit from Combard, Lancement, Baleyat and Boucharey to make his new les Côtes bottling. Much of this fruit had previously gone into his Cuvée du Plessy bottling. 2018 was the first vintage for this new blended cuvée, which was excellent, and the 2019 is another stellar young Côte-Rôtie. The wine comes in at the same fourteen percent as the Coeur de Combard and delivers a refined, classic nose of raspberries, pepper, roasted game, hazelnut, a beautifully complex base of soil, woodsmoke, a touch of cedar and a lovely topnote of spices. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, soil-driven and complex, with great depth and purity, fine-grained tannins, good acids and grip and a long, perfectly balanced and classical finish of excellent potential. This has the elegant profile one finds often in bottlings made exclusively from the Côte Blonde vineyard.
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 : he concretized this new breath of life brought on the estate. In 2016, he stopped adding sulfur on all white wines, and stopped all unnatural treatments on the vines in 2018. He adds sheep in his vineyards in 2020. Julien and his vines, it is first and foremost a partnership, and he gets the best from it!
