Tasting Notes

  • GDH

    Goedhuis, March 2021

    Nicolas Boiron is the 5th generation at this excellent Chateauneuf address, his family have been making wine here since 1860. The 2016 is an immersion of silky rich red fruits suffused with flavours of chocolate, espresso and black liquorice. Juicy, herby and gamey, this is a decadent Chateauneuf with sweeping structure and a bright line of acidity. Notes of wild thyme and rosemary linger on the finish.

Producer

The Boiron family has made wine here since 1860. Through purchasing of land over the years, the property today has about 40 different parcels in the appellation - totalling 27ha. The average age of the vines is about 50 years. 3.5ha of 100 year-old vines are used for Cuvée Chante le Merle.

Region

Châteauneuf du Pape

The emperor of southern Rhône appellations, Châteauneuf du Pape was the first A.O.C. in all of France, created in 1936. Their bottle is unique embossed with the papal coat of arms. Thirteen varieties (14 if Grenache Blanc is counted separately) can be incorporated in the blend. The reds include: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Cinsault, Terret Noir, Picpoul, Vaccarèse, Counoise, Muscardin, while the whites are Roussanne, Bourboulenc and Clairette. Only a handful of producers use all 13, Grenache often being the highest percentage of the blend. This enables each producer to highlight the varieties that are the ripest and most interesting in any given year. Most Châteauneuf du Pâpes are master examples of wines that can be approachable within the first few years of release yet able to develop superb complexity during many years of cellaring.
