For five generations, the Boiron family have run this famous 27 hectares estate with great energy and passion. Intensely aromatic, full-bodied and long-lived, the wines are aged in oak for two years in a mixture of large foudres and small barriques. These wines are simply superb and rate among the best Chateauneuf-du-Pape, year after year.
"This superb estate never misses a beat with its wines, which are all reasonably drinkable at a young age, normally exhibit terrific Provencal typicity, and have uncommon aging potential. I still have some soft years like 1983 and 1985 in my cellar that are holding up beautifully." Wine Advocate
“Structured, concentrated, and full-bodied is the Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Classique. It offers a classic southern Rhone aromatic display of ground pepper, garrigue, cherry liqueur, plums, and cedar. Full-bodied, sweet, expansive, and pure, with excellent delineation.”.
"95 out of 100....Ruby-red. Explosively perfumed, utterly seductive bouquet of raspberry, blackberry, garrigue and minerals. Deep flavors of sweet dark berry liqueur buttressed by vibrant minerality. Silky tannins add gentle grip to this suave midweight. Deftly combines power and finesse, finishing with outstanding sappy length." - Stephen Tanzer`s International Wine Cellar
"92 out of 100...Tight-grained and holding a lot in reserve, with a core of black cherry, plum, cedar, dark licorice and tar notes that will need cellaring to unwind. Has a long, well-structured finish. Best from 2009 through 2021." - Wine Spectator
