Domaine Bois de Boursan 2020 'Tradition' Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC Login JD 92-94 In Stock

Domaine Bois de Boursan, founded in 1955 by Jean Versino (Jean-Paul’s father), is a ten-hectare domaine with the entirety of its vineyards situated within the confines of the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Working all of the permitted thirteen grapes for the appellation, the Versino family manages twenty-seven separate parcels of vineyards. The average age of the vines is in excess of fifty years. The domaine is worked organically without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides (certified by Ecocert). Further, the vinification is traditional to its core: the grapes for the red are not destemmed, the cuvaison extends for at least three weeks, and the elevage takes place in wood of varying size for eighteen months or longer. The wines, both red and white, are ageworthy.

  • Dom. Bois de Boursan 2020 'Tradition' Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC

    the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape is 70% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, and the rest a mix of Counoise, Cinsault, and other varieties. Tasting like the essence of Provence with its ground pepper, herbes de Provence, leather, and exotic spice-driven aromas and flavors, it's medium to full-bodied and offers building tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. I'd buy it.
