Domaine Bosquet des Papes

Based in the heart of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Nicolas Boiron has been making classic Châteauneuf-du-Papes for around 20 years now. The domaine has a lot of old vine Grenache, allowing Nicolas to be fairly hands off in terms of forcing the wines, as they have plenty of natural concentration. Fragrant and succulent but not too big these wines have a surprisingly subtle touch, which is much like Nicolas himself, a physically imposing man yet charming and gentle.
