Bosquet Des Papes Chateauneuf La Folie
| Vintage: | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Wine Advocate 97 Points - "The deepest colored of the trio and a true 'Wow' wine, the 2016 Chteauneuf-du-Pape La Folie is 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvdre that was completely destemmed and brought up 10% new barrels, with the balance in demi-muids. An insane bouquet of black cherry liqueur, blackberries, crushed rocks, and pepper garrigue gives way to a full-bodied, incredibly polished, seamless Grenache. This beauty does everything right and possesses a vibrant, sexy texture, no hard edges, and a blockbuster finish. It will most likely merit a triple-digit score in a few years and cruise for a decade or more.". Wine Advocate 97 Points - "The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape la Folie is a special cuve that has only been made three times: in 2007, 2015 and 2016. As Nicolas Boiron points out, it's a "modern style" of Chteauneuf, completely destemmed and aged in demi-muids and barriques, with a fair proportion of those barrels being new. Mocha cedar notes mark the nose at this early age, while the flavors resemble caramelized cherries and baking spices. Full-bodied, rich, creamy and undeniably plush, it's still recognizable as Chteauneuf-du-Pape, showing velvety hints of chocolate on the long finish. The assemblage is 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvdre." |
