Bosquet des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'A La Gloire de Mon Grand Pere' 2016
"I was questioning if the top cuvees were worth the money after tasting
the traditional cuvée from winemaker Nicolas Boiron, then I tasted his
2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape A La Gloire de Mon Grand-Pere and decided that,
yes indeed, the special cuvées in 2016 can certainly be worth the
uptick in price. Based almost exclusively on Grenache (there's a splash of
Cinsault and Clairette) sourced from the La Gardiole lieu-dit and aged
mostly in demi-muids, this heavenly beauty offers awesome notes of
garrigue, toasted spices, flowers, licorice and loads of sweet Grenache
fruit. Voluptuous, flamboyant, and sexy, yet also elegant and seamless,
with a weightless texture, this is Grenache at its finest and is going to
knock your socks off over the coming 10-15 years."
