2022 Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Boisrenard, Domaine de Beaurenard (Coulon)

The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Boisrenard, a blend of 80% Grenache Noir with a mix of the 13 authorized varieties, possesses a complex, elegant and fresh bouquet of dark wild berries, garrigue, spices and fresh thyme mingled with dark cherries. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and layered, textured and elegant, it has a multidimensional core of fruit, velvety tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Built to age gracefully over the next 20 years, this is a real success. ~ (95) Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 9-26-2024

A well-crafted, focused, textured and seductive Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The nose expresses notes of wild berries, raspberries, dried herbs, sand, bay leaves and stones. It’s full-bodied with fine tannins. Serious and layered with plenty of drive and precision. The subtle core of fruit combines perfectly with the herbs and spices, giving a long, flavorful and harmonious finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. ~ (94) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 6-25-2024

The smaller production 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Boisrenard comes from a field blend of 80% Grenache and splashes of 17 other varieties. Brought up mostly in foudre, with a small amount in new oak, it's a gorgeous effort offering juicy black cherry and darker berry fruits, medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, seamless mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and youthful yet pure aromatics of peppery garrigue, sappy flowers, graphite, and new leather. It needs 2-4 years, if not more, of bottle age and should see its 20th birthday in fine form. It's another absolutely brilliant wine from this estate. ~ (95) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 10-29-2024
