Fresh, elegant and layered, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Boisrenard from the Coulon brothers is a field blend dominated by Grenache, yet includes all 13 permitted varieties. Destemmed, vinified in oak tanks and aged 18 months in small foudre, this beauty offers a terrific bouquet of black currants, smoked herbs, charred meat, creosote and licorice; while there’s a modern slant to the profile here, it still shows terrific southern Rhône soul. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, fresh, elegant and pure, with a youthful feel, it’s can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade. - Jeb Dunnuck
