Bois De Boursan Chateauneuf Cuvee Des Felix
| Vintage: | 2015 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Cuve des Flix is a blend of three sites, all of which are historically prized: La Crau (from vines planted in 1924), La Nerthe (planted in 1920), and Pied de Baud (planted in 1920); Versino is lucky to coax 20 hectoliters per hectare out of these ancient vines in a generous vintage. Flix comprises 65% Grenache, 25% Mourvdre (a significantly higher proportion than in the Tradition), plus splashes of the domaines oldest Cinsault, Syrah, and Counoise. The vineyards are worked manually and harvested by hand, and the wine ferments naturally in cement and ages for two years in 8-to-10-year-old 500-liter barrels before being bottled without fining or filtration. A monumental vintage of Flix wherein savory Mourvdre elements take center stage, flanked by deeply ripe but supple fruit and wild, tingling spices. 18 hectoliters per hectare, 100% whole-cluster. |
