Bosquet Des Papes Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-Du-Pape 1998 - magnum

Bosquet des Papes Chante le Merle Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1998 in magnum format is a deeply expressive Southern Rhône red built from old vines and crafted for longevity. With its classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape character, impressive concentration, and a strong critical reputation, it offers both immediate generosity and the structure to age gracefully.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this wine typically shows a deep ruby to garnet hue with the slight brick edging expected from mature Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The bouquet is richly layered, with sweet kirsch, ripe cherries, dried herbs, spice, and earthy undertones, all framed by the savory complexity that comes with age. On the palate, it is full-bodied and sumptuous, with ample fruit, supple texture, and impressive depth. The old-vine Grenache brings warmth and richness, while the supporting blend adds balance and length. Thanks to its concentration and magnum format, it has excellent aging potential and can continue to develop nuance over time.

Viininvalmistus
The wine comes from a 3.5-hectare parcel planted with vines over 100 years old, contributing naturally low yields and remarkable concentration. While specific soil details are not provided, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is known for its diverse galets roulés, sand, and clay soils, which help shape wines of power, freshness, and complexity. Harvesting is typically done with care to preserve the quality of the old vines, followed by traditional vinification and élevage in large oak casks, with around 10% new oak and 12-18 months of maturation.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a wine to serve with rich, flavorful dishes such as roast lamb, game, beef stew, duck confit, or aged hard cheeses. It is best enjoyed at around 16-18°C, and decanting is recommended, especially for a mature vintage in magnum, to help the wine open up and reveal its full aromatic range.

Tuottaja
The Boiron family has been making wine at the estate since 1860, and today the fifth generation, Nicolas Boiron and his wife, continue the tradition. Their philosophy is to create wines built to age, and their work with old vines on one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s historic sites has helped establish the domaine as a respected name in the region.
