2001 Domaine de Beaurenard "Boisrenard" Châteauneuf-du-Pape

SKU #1004587 97 points Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark There have been a number of spectacular vintages of Domaine de Beaurenard’s luxury cuvee, Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Boisrenard, but the 2001 may be the finest they have ever produced. An inky/purple color is accompanied by aromas of creme de cassis, melted licorice, graphite, and a touch of barrique. The explosive bouquet is followed by an expansive, full-bodied, powerful wine with great purity, tremendous multilayered flavor intensity, and beautifully integrated wood, acidity, and tannin. It possesses structure, grip, and a finish that lasts well over a minute. It is a brilliant success! (RP) Inner quote mark (2/2004)

Outer quote mark The 2001 Domaine de Beaurenard Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard is a blend of 60% old-vine Grenache (70-100 year), and 40% other varieties (field blend), that’s aged for 18 months in small oak barrels, with only 20% new. The wine is a tremendous effort that is just now starting to shed some of its modern elevage, showing gorgeous aromas of crème de cassis, spice, white chocolate, and licorice laced-garrigue on the nose. This is followed by a full bodied, decadently textured wine that possesses fantastic concentration, beautiful precision, and a blockbuster finish. Inner quote mark (3/2011)

95 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark This continues to be one of the Coulons' best efforts to date, with stunning, creamy mouthfeel to the layer upon layer of fig sauce, currant confiture and blueberry paste flavors. That range of fruit is studded with dark licorice snap and Turkish coffee notes, backed by a long graphite spine that holds together the finish. A classic version of the modern style.

Varietal:

Rhone Blends

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Rhone

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or Rasteau. Wines labeled as Cote du Rhone or Cotes du Rhone Village (a cut above generic Cotes du Rhone) are frequently found here in the US because they often represent some of the best values on the market.
