Domaine Bois de Boursan (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
5 spice, incense and black cherries led off the wine. There is good freshness and intensity in the mid palate and finish. Give it a few years to develop more complexity. From a blend of 70% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and 10% Counoise, the wine reached 14.5 ABV. 2,610 Views Tasted Sep 10, 2014 |
When to Drink Domaine Bois de Boursan, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Bois de Boursan can be enjoyed on the young side. Young vintages are better with 1-2 hours of decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Bois de Boursan is usually better with 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage. In the best vintages, the wine should be consumed within 7-18 years after the vintage.
