What’s a good wine to sip on breaks while clearing out the garage on a crisp Fall day in Houston? This one...starts off pretty tight but just opens up into expressive #chateauneufdupape - Grenache-baseline cherry, whispering #garrigue herbal notes. It will be a challenge to keep this for at least 5 years to see how it develops. #wsjwineclub

Beautiful dry, oaky wine. Full bodied, long flavor. Blend of fruit, but oak dominates. Still, really nice! Tasted 22 January 2022.

Jan 23rd, 2022Outstanding #chateauneufdupape from the Boisson family, easily the best I’ve ever had. Heady aroma, layers of earthy richness blended with tart cherry flavors, soft tannins and elegant spice. Unlike other CDPs I’ve had, it’s not too sweet.
