Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard Blanc
2023
Expressive and juicy, with mandarin orange and yellow peach on a nicely ripe and concentrated palate. Slightly waxy in feel, with layers of flavor and savory detail gliding along -- ginger, chamomile, fleur de sel, dried garrigue. A big, rich white, with excellent energy and balance that stretch out endlessly. Offers tons of delicious appeal right now but will go the distance in the cellar.

The smaller production 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Boisrenard Blanc is based on 42% Clairette, 32% Roussanne, 11% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, and 1% each Picpoul Gris, Clairette Rose, Grenache Gris, Picardan, and Picpoul Blanc. It's slightly more reserved compared to the classic cuvée and has a more mineral-laced bouquet of stone fruits, crushed stone, and toasted almond. It too is medium-bodied and nicely concentrated, with integrated acidity, solid mid-palate depth, and a great finish. Give it a year or two and enjoy over the following 10-15 years.
