Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine Bois de Boursan (Domaine) Jean et Jean-Paul Versino 2015
The wine
Powerful and well-structured, this red Châteauneuf-du-Pape can be enjoyed while still young. However, its keeping potential ensures it is still rewarding to drink after a good decade of cellaring. A blend of Cinsault, Syrah, Counoise, Mourvèdre and Grenache Noir, it is vinified in concrete vats and thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. Maceration lasts 20 days, and élevage is conducted in wooden tuns. This traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape reveals notes of black berries and spices that make the perfect accompaniment for red meat.
About the Producer Bois de Boursan
Jean Versino and his father Jean-Paul established this family-run vineyard in 1955 and now works in very close partnership with his son Jean who abandoned his studies to join the business in 1983. Jean helped his father extend the vineyard which has practised organic techniques since its early days. The 13 grape varieties permitted under the appellation's specification are grown on 27 parcels planted on 10 hectares. The vines are, on average, 50 years old and tended without the use of chemical fertilisers. Instead, the Mistral's powerful wind keeps the vines healthy. The wines, which have been praised by the critics, are matured in a mix of wooden barrels. To allow their highly distinctive character to shine through, there is no filtering.
