The 1997 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Boisrenard (made from 70-90 year old vines and aged 12 months in small casks and foudres)displays a dark ruby/purple color, as well as an intense blackberry and raspberry-scented nose with some pain grille. Dense, rich, and medium to full-bodied, with a lush texture, good glycerin and alcohol, and a heady finish, this flamboyant, tasty, rich Chateauneuf du Pape should drink well for a decade. Consistently one of the high quality Chateauneuf du Pape estates, Domaine de Beaurenard has turned in this impressive effort in this lighter year. Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel.
