Description

This wine would sit nicely on your dinner table at Christmas

Les Bosquets des Papes has been a working vineyard in Chateauneuf du Pape since 1860. Founded by the Boiron family, the domaine has been owned by the same family for 6 generations. For a period of time, the estate produced and sold their Chateauneuf du Pape wine under the name of Clos Chantemerle. That practice began in 1936. The name was changed to Les Bosquets des Papes in 1966.

The Southern Rhone Valley vineyards of Bosquet des Papes are like many estates, spread out over the appellation. In all, their vines are located in forty separate plots in Chateauneuf du Pape. They own old vines, While the average age of their vines is close to 50 years, their luxury cuvee, Chante le Merle, (Which takes its name from what the estate was previously known as) comes from vines that are over 100 years of age. The Boiron family also owns 3.5 hectares in the Cotes du Rhone appellation.
Bosquet des Papes has 25.5 hectares under vine for the production of red Chateauneuf du Pape wine and 1.5 hectares reserved for white Chateauneuf du Pape wine. Bosquets des Papes is a traditionally styled Chateauneuf du Pape. The wines are aged in a combination of old foudres and demi-muids.
The best vintages for Bosquets des Papes are: 2015, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2007, 2005, 2001, 2000, 1998 and 1990.
Bosquets des Papes produces a total of 4 red Chateauneuf du Pape wines, one Chateauneuf du Pape blanc and their Cotes du Rhone.
Bosquets des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition comes from a blend of about 75% Grenache with 11% Syrah , 10% Mourvedre and various grapes in the blend. The wine is aged in foudres.

89-91 points Robert Parker:
"The dense plum/ruby-colored 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Classique exhibits a spicy, cedary perfume revealing scents of black cherries, pepper, and spice box. Its fleshy, full-bodied, fruit-driven personality displays considerable structure and tannin in the finish. One of the Boiron's more delineated and powerful traditional cuvees, it will be at its finest between 2005-2016. Prices for the Boiron family wines remain among the most reasonable in Châteauneuf du Pape ... remarkable given the high quality of all three cuvees, and the fact that this family has been making Chateauneuf du Pape for five generations."

Chateauneuf-du-Pape has been on a roll since 1998, and 2001 ends a set of four very good to excellent vintages. The wines have a rich fruit concentration, plenty of glycerol and fat, and high alcohol degrees. The best show a quantity of firm, ripe tannin and a fresh minerality, providing good length and balance. The round, supple texture of many will make them attractive early on, but this is a vintage with long ageing potential.
The key features of the year were low yields, a hot, dry summer and ideal harvest conditions. ‘There was some coulure in the Grenache and consequently a smaller fruit set and naturally lower yields,’ explains Jean-Paul Versino of the excellent Domaine Bois de Boursan.
Climatic conditions throughout the year were favourable to a successful vintage. Temperatures were high with 50 days over 30°C, the rainfall normal and the number of days that the Mistral blew significant. This is an important factor in the appellation, helping to keep disease (mildew and oïdium) at bay and concentrating the grapes.
The hot, dry, sunny weather during the harvest was also a positive factor. Sugar ripeness was achieved rapidly at the beginning of September but phenolic ripeness required extra time. ‘Those that harvested too early had the alcohol but not full maturity. An extra week made all the difference,’ says Michel Maret of Domaine de la Charbonnière.

Alcohol degrees are consequently high but the top wines all have balance and length. ‘I was afraid the alcohol might be too invasive but the quality of the fruit masks this, the wines retaining an attractive consistency and freshness,’ says Nicolas Boiron of Bosquet des Papes. ‘I prefer the 2001 vintage to the 2000,’ says oenologist Philippe Cambie, consultant to a number of top domaines. ‘There are lots of fine tannins and soft but intense fruit, and a charm that comes close in style to top Burgundy.’
