Described as "the next superstar producer in Chateauneuf du Pape" by Jeb Dunnuck, these top scoring selections from under the radar estate Bosquet du Papes showcase their beautiful traditionally styled range of cellar worthy CDP blends, driven by old vine Grenache grown in the region's top terroirs and affordably priced for Rhone lovers to enjoy often over the next decade.
Located on the Route d'Orange just past the picturesque hilltop village of Chateauneuf du Pape, Bosquet des Papes' steady rise in quality over the last two decades has been driven by fifth generation winemaker Nicolas Boiron, elevating his family's Grenache-dominated blends "into the upper echelon of the appellation" according to Vinous critic Josh Raynolds. Sourced from vines averaging 50 years of age from estate parcels throughout the AOC, the fresh and juicy 94 pt. 2019 Bosquet des Papes CDP Tradition offers appealing spiced fruit hinting of classic Provencal garrigue and soft, luscious tannins, earning the designation of "highly recommended" from the Wine Spectator's James Molesworth. From a single parcel in the northern AOC planted with vines averaging 60-70 years, the silky, full-bodied 96 pt. 2019 CDP "A La Gloire de Mon Grand Pere" is a blend 98% Grenache with a little Cinsault and Clairette to enhance aromatics, beautifully balancing lively fruit and seamless, velvety tannins that promise "two decades of pure pleasure giving" according to Jeb Dunnuck. Sourced from vines averaging an astounding 90 to 100 years of age, the limited production 96 pt. 2019 CDP Chante Le Merle Vielles Vignes is a powerful blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Mourvedre, boasting "well-integrated tannins and great aromatic complexity" according to Josh Raynolds of Vinous, its richly concentrated, layered fruit brimming with Southern Rhone character.
From an exceptional vintage "combining elegance with power" according to Decanter's Matt Walls, these highly rated 2019 Bosquet des Papes CDP's are among the Southern Rhone's top bargains, affordably priced at a fraction of the region's well known estates and a smart buy for anyone seeking to enjoy beautifully crafted CDP more often. |
