酒莊La Sousto的歷史始於1865年出生的Théodoric Barrot，但根瘤蚜危機後，他被迫離開家鄉教皇新堡，移居馬賽成為一名麵包師。他的兒子Lucien於1917年在馬賽出生，1930年代年僅15歲的他回到村莊。他接管了家族部分的葡萄園，並請佃農於其他葡萄園耕作以擴大版圖。他於1941年與Raymonde Tonnaire結婚。在 Lucien不幸去世後，Raymonde 勇敢地接管了酒莊。直至1970年其中一個兒子Pierre Barrot加入酒莊，日後由他繼承。
酒莊的葡萄園分佈在教皇新堡不同的地塊(Climats)上，享有3種風土的強大力量：
1. 石灰岩火石—— 種植了Grenache, Cinsault及Syrah，呈現出細膩的芳香和優雅的單寧。
2. 鵝卵石和石英（來自第四紀的阿爾卑斯山）—— 它們釋放白天積累的熱量，這解釋了Grenache溫暖濃郁的特性。
3. 粘土——深厚肥沃的紅色粘土，種植了Syrah, Grenache及Mourvèdre，讓混釀充滿酒香及豐滿酒體。

The history of La Sousto began with Théodoric Barrot, born in 1865. He was forced to leave Châteauneuf-du-Pape after the phylloxera crisis, he settled in Marseilles as a baker. His son, Lucien, was born in Marseilles in 1917 who return to the village in the 1930s at the early age of 15. He took over the few family vineyards and sharecropped others in order to increase the surface area at his disposal. He married Raymonde Tonnaire in 1941. Raymonde took over the reins of the estate with courage when Lucien died. In 1970, one of their sons, Pierre, joined the estate in 1970 before succeeding his parents completely.
The vineyards in Chateauneuf du Pape enjoy the genuine strength of 3 terrors, the Climats with a land of:
1. limestone flint - cultivate Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, which presents aromatic fineness and elegant tannins.
2. pebbles & quartz (torn from the Alps in the quaternary period) - they release heat accumulated during the day, which explain the rich, warm character of the Grenache.
3. clay - the deep, rich clay that is red in color, which have planted Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. It bring the fruit and the body of the final blend.

Pierre Barrot's excellent 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape is a foudre-aged blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre and 1% each Counoise and Vaccarèse. Like the standout 2016, it delivers waves of ripe black cherries and plums on the nose, then is full-bodied, rich, concentrated and gently tannic in the mouth yet elegant and fine, with a long, silky finish and layers of complexity including hints of cocoa, lavender, cinnamon and clove.
