    About Domaine La Boutiniere 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape, Les Crau Vieilles Vignes, Grande Reserve

    Here's an incredible find from the excellent 2017 vintage, a vintage where it is nearly impossible as they have already been scooped up by fine wine collectors around the world. Domaine La Boutiniere was founded in 1920 by Félix Vidal. This family-owned company is now run by fourth-generation winemaker, Frédéric Boutin, who has been the owner and winemaker since 1997. Domaine La Boutiniere has 27 acres of vineyards in eight different parcels within Châteauneuf-du-Pape, including the Crus of La Crau, Le Boucou, Coste Froid, and Roumiguière. Vines are an average of 70 years old and the wines are produced from all 13 grape varieties allowed in the Châteauneuf appellation. 

     This Cuvée Grande-Réserve Rouge is a plot selection of old vines planted in 1902 on the famous lieudit of “La Crau.” This parcel grows at an elevation of 394 feet above sea level on a sandy soils covered with large quartz pebbles called “Galets” over a red clay subsoil. The average age of the vines is 100 years.  Manual harvest with sorting in the vineyard and in the cellar. 80% is destemmed. The grape varieties are vinified separately in wooden vats, with pumping and load shedding, a maceration of 25–45 days, depending on the grape variety. 

    The blend is78% Grenache, 16% Mourvèdre, 6% Syrah while the wine has been aged 20% in barrels and 80% in conical wooden vats for a period of 12 months. 

    Vinous scored this wine 92-93 points boasting 'Black raspberry, cherry preserve and incense aromas… potpourri and baking spice nuances…. Appealingly sweet red and dark berry liqueur and spice cake flavors and a touch of candied flowers… Energetic in style, with fine-grained tannins adding shape to a long, floral accented finish.'

    Wine Enthusiast rated it 90 Points saying 'Boysenberry and black cherry flavors are cutting and spry in this mineral, earthen expression of Châteauneuf-du-Pape sourced primarily from safre, or sandy soils. A blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah, it's full-bodied and weighty on the palate but quite zesty and edged by firm, peppery tannins. Still approaching peak but should drink well through 2030.'
