2019 Domaine Beaurenard 'Boisrenard' Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape Southern Rhone

Winemaker Notes: Made from old vines of different varieties growing together, with moderate yields, the Boisrenard Blanc is characterized by its beautiful smoothness and notes of salinity. A highly distinguished wine.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "There are just 4,000 bottles of the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Boisrenard, which comes from 70- to 100-year-old vines. It's mainly Clairette and Roussanne, but includes the other four white varieties authorized in the appellation as well. Vinified and matured in large-format oak, it does show some classy hints of cedar shavings on the nose and a wonderfully slinky, silky texture on the medium to full-bodied palate, both serving to highlight the wine's restrained melon and citrus flavors. Impressively concentrated and balanced, I'd expect this to drink well for up to a decade, at which time it should be nicely truffled and almost decadent."
