Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, Domaine Bois de Boursan - 2021

Still riding the full-bodied white train, I’ve had my eye on this Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc from Domaine Bois de Boursan for weeks. Partly because one of the tasting descriptors simply read “canned peaches,” but mostly because white wines from this appellation are produced in such small quantities compared to its storied reputation for bold reds—it was impossible not to be intrigued.Trying to do this wine justice in limited space feels nearly impossible given the level of gratification it delivered. Luscious and inviting, it opens with layered aromas of citrus, warm spice, and gentle florals, unfolding with remarkable depth and balance. It easily ranks among the finest white wines I’ve tasted. If patience were one of my virtues, I’d cellar it for another three years without hesitation, confident it will only continue to evolve and improve
