2016 Bois de Boursan Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee des Felix 1.5L

Jeb Dunnuck (94-96) – “Also not yet bottled the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Felix offers a similar level of concentration, yet is more tight, structured, and elegant. Currants, scorched earth, leather, and ground pepper notes give way to a full-bodied, powerful, concentrated 2016 that’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring yet cruise for two decades. This cuvée is 65% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, and the rest a mix of varieties, all aged in very old barrels.I continue to love the wines of Jean-Paul Versino, and these are as classic and traditional as they come.”

Wine Advocate (94-96) – “Deeper and more concentrated than the regular bottling, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Felix is otherwise reasonably similar, with dark fruit flavors, ample weight and a soupçon of dried spices. Cola and plum are joined by hints of allspice and clove in this rich, velvety wine.”
