Domaine Bois de Boursan 2021 'Tradition' Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC Login JD 89-91 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.

    Lots of juicy black raspberry, strawberry, rose petal, and ground pepper nuances emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a lively medium-bodied, elegant barrel sample that has good mid-palate depth, firm yet ripe and integrated tannins, and a great finish. It's going to be a classic, balanced, incredibly satisfying Châteauneuf du Pape to enjoy on release and over the following decade.
