The top white wine from 8thgeneration Domaine Beaurenard is their Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvee Boisrenard. About three-fourths of the blend is Clairette and Roussanne, but it also includes bits of Bourboulenc, Clairette Rose, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Picardan, Picpoul Blanc and Picpoul Gris. It’s vinified and aged in foudres (65%) and barrels (35%). This forward, lush, tropical wine hints at honey on toast and caramel, but that richness is balanced by decent acidity, and the extended finish features sheer pineapple-vanilla deliciousness.
94+ POINTS, JEB DUNNUCK
The only 2019 white I was able to taste (the 2018s were also reviewed last year), the 2019 Chteauneuf Du Pape Boisrenard Blanc is a richer effort, yet still stays chiseled and focused, with classy notes of pear, white flowers, crushed citrus, and hints of honeysuckle. It shows a kiss of salinity on the palate and is medium-bodied, has bright acidity, and a beautiful finish. This is going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and will keep for a couple of decades or more in cool cellars.
