Théodoric Barrot born in 1865 left Chateauneuf du
Pape as a young man as the future prospects after the phylloxéra were
uncertain. He became a baker in Marseilles. His son Lucien Gabriel Barrot
returned in the1930ties to Chateauneuf du Pape as he was offered to take
over some vineyards owned by family members. Today some of this
vineyards still belong to family. Lucien Gabriel Barrot had two sons Robert
and Pierre Barrot. Robert Barrot married Catherine Mousset the daughter
of Louis Mousset and together they ran Chateau des Finesh
Roches until they handed over to the two daughters Amelie and Gäelle.
Pierre Barrot took over the vineyards of the Barrot family today
covering 12 ha with 40-80-eyears old vines situated at several different
liux-dits of the appellation. One cuvée of red Chateauneuf du Pape is
made. In 2015 it was for tasting at the table from Chateau
des Finesh Roches by Les Printemps in Chateauneuf du Pape.
