Product notes

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is characterized by the diversity of its soils, with a mosaic of plots where different varieties grow together on limestone rock, round pebbles on a clay substrate with varying amounts of iron, and fine sedimentary sand.

Production notes

The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard. Co fermentation, long vatting for soft extractions. Matured for 12 months in conical vats, foudres and barrels.

Tasting notes

Made from old vines of different varieties growing together, with moderate yields, Boisrenard is characterized by the silky weave of its tannins and its generous fruit. A wine of immense depth.

International Wine Report

December 2019

The 2017 'Boisrenard' is yet another absolutely sensational release of this cuvée from the Coulon Family. It is composed of 66% Grenache along with 12% both Syrah and Mourvèdre withs he remainder consisting of other permitted varieties. As it begins to unwind in the glass it offers stunning aromatics of ripe blackberries and dark cherries which are woven together with exotic spices, espresso, smoke, licorice, graphite and minerals all taking shape. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous polished texture and shows wonderful overall balance, depth and concentration leading up to the gorgeous finish. While this displays plenty of upfront appeal now, there is no doubt it will go on to age gracefully for many years to come.

Jeb Dunnuck, August 2019 (Vintage 2017)

A similar blend, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Boisrenard checks in as 66% Grenache, 12% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and the balance a mix of permitted varieties, that saw 10% new oak. It has a thrilling bouquet of black cherries, cassis, bouquet garni, scorched earth, and graphite. Tasting like a Grand Cru Burgundy with its tension, purity, and elegance, it has building tannins, terrific concentration, and a great finish. Still tight, backward and reserved, hide bottles for 4-5 years if you can. It's going to be long-lived.
