Tasting notes
The Grenache-led 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Boisrenard aged for one year in foudre , coming in at 15.5% alcohol. It has an edge over the traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which is expected as it sells at a higher price. The 2020 Cuvée Boisrenard bursts from the glass with enticing aromas of rose petals, crushed violets, precisely defined red cherry, raspberry, strawberry and a twist of lavender and mint. Full-bodied and tightly-structured, I would give this at least four more years in bottle.

The flagship from this great estate is the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Boisrenard, which is based on 80% Grenache and small doses of 17 other varieties. This deeply hued beauty offers a stunning bouquet of blackberries, scorched earth, licorice, ground pepper, and sappy garrigue. I always find a Burgundian-like texture on this wine, and the 2020 is no exception – this is one to put into a blind tasting of Grand Cru Red Burgundies and shock your friends. Medium to full-bodied, ultra-pure, with grippy, sappy tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish, it’s pure class all the way. It's going to need at least 4-6 years of bottle age, but this is a wine you don't want to miss, and one of the finest wines I’ve tasted from this estate.
