Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

A new cuvée (I believe, anyway), the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les 7 De Pignan is 100% Grenache from the northern portion of the Pignan lieu-dit that was aged all in foudre. It boasts a translucent ruby hue to go with a kaleidoscope-like bouquet of red cherries, framboise, strawberries, ground pepper, and Provençal garrigue. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's elegant, has ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. Grenache lovers out there should jump on this beauty. It will evolve for over a decade.

About the Producer

Domaine Bosquet des Papes, an iconic signature of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, embodies the excellence of a family tradition rooted in the Rhône Valley. The Boiron family, guardians of the estate, crafts wines with palpable passion, marrying respect for ancestral traditions with a contemporary approach to viticulture. Under the guidance of Nicolas Boiron, the estate is committed to revealing the intrinsic elegance of its wines, while magnifying their generosity and authenticity. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines from Domaine Bosquet des Papes are distinguished by a complex aromatic bouquet, where notes of garrigue and spices mingle harmoniously with a fruit expression of great purity, supported by a persistent freshness. The Tradition cuvée, a true standard-bearer for the estate, is particularly prized by connoisseurs, as is the Chante le Merle Vieilles Vignes cuvée, a reflection of an exceptional terroir. It is said that the estate's name evokes a former passage for the Popes of Avignon, adding a historical dimension to this place steeped in tradition. The single-parcel cuvées A la Gloire de Mon Grand-Père and Les 7 de Pignan, along with La Folie, complete a range of refined and highly expressive wines.
