Details
For five generations, the Boiron family have run this famous 27 hectares estate with great energy and passion. Intensely aromatic, full-bodied and long-lived, the wines are aged in oak for two years in a mixture of large foudres and small barriques. These wines are simply superb and rate among the best Chateauneuf-du-Pape, year after year.
The dense plum/ruby-colored 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Classique exhibits a spicy, cedary perfume revealing scents of black cherries, pepper, and spice box. Its fleshy, full-bodied, fruit-driven personality displays considerable structure and tannin in the finish. One of the Boiron's more delineated and powerful traditional cuvees, it will be at its finest up until 2016.
