Domaine Bois de Boursan
Cuvée des Félix Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.
Pretty nose of raspberries, strawberries, light cedar, earth, herbs and chocolates.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, chocolates and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This young Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable, even by itself.
This great 2022 vintage is starting to drink nicely now. Well structured and nicely balanced, with a great mouthfeel.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
Elegant and robust. Rich and fruit forward. Tannic and tangy. Interesting stuff.
A blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 5% Syrah and 5% of other local grapes. Aged in used French oak barrels.
15% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$100.

Fabulously savory with animale, bay leaf and high tones red fruits. Tons of lift. Grippy. Excellent and old school

Some initial cellar funk on the nose that blew off and then this continued to reveal more and more fruit over the next couple hours. That last glass finally revealing the potential and showing that this will still improve with a few more years in bottle.

Decant and wait. This did not recover. Top notes of Brett and VA made it a sink cleaner.

Still has some wood to digest, but pretty balance between ripeness, earth, and garrigue. Would prefer less cooperage, but quite good with grilled lamb and the summer version of the polar vortex. Rebuy.

Red fruit, earthy, leafy. Very pretty and it’s held up commendably over time. Delicate and traditional side of CDP. Tannins are still a bit underripe.

I was a little sceptical before opening the bottle - 2003 hmmmm! Big surprise - it wasn’t too old - it was smoky, leather, olive and mushrooms - still some tannins - no trace of the cabbage some old ch9 develop with age.

Whoa. Refined with dark fruit flavors, animale with dried herbs and floral notes. And just enough brett keep it pleasantly rustic. Fun wine.

But give me a good cellar and I'll see you in 10 years.
