Domaine Bosquet Des Papes

Chante Le Merle Magnum (1500ml)

96/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "The blockbuster 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Chante le Merle Vieilles Vignes is a big, hulking wine, loaded with minty-stemmy notes and dark, plummy fruit. Allspice and salted licorice provide additional nuance, making it more than just a powerhouse, but it is a full-bodied, tannic wine that will need time in the cellar. The always-smiling, ebullient couple of Nicolas and Jeanne-Claire Boiron have an infectious enthusiasm for wine (and, seemingly, life) that makes a visit to their cellar in Chateauneuf du Pape a pleasure. The wines remain fairly priced for the quality, comfortably straddling the line between modern and traditional."
