2020 | Jean-Pierre Boisson | Chateauneuf du Pape Elisabeth Chambellan Vieilles Vignes Pere Caboche

A full bodied, elegant red with intense aromas of candied red fruits combined with a hint of soft liquorice on the nose, fresh chilli pepper and roasted notes. Well-balanced on the palate with sweet notes and a nice minerality, together with preserved fruit flavours, mineral and spicy notes and silky tannins leading to a long and smooth finish.

Reviews:

• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes Elisabeth Chambellan is mostly Grenache but includes 10% Syrah and 2% Mourvedre. Gorgeous red berries, wildflowers, Christmas spice, and sandalwood notes emerge on the nose, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, an ultra-pure, elegant mouthfeel, terrific tannins, and a great finish. It's a beautiful, complete, satisfying 2020 that shows the elegance of this estate as well as the vintage.

• Wilfred Wong: The 2020 Domaine du Pere Caboche Elisabeth Chambellan Châteauneuf-du-Pape drinks rewarding and well. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of black fruit, earth, and dust. Pair it with braised meat dishes.

Producer Information

Jean-Pierre Boisson, former long-serving mayor of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, runs Domaine Père Caboche with his children Emily & Nicolas. Members of the Boisson family have been both winemakers and blacksmiths for generations. The family nickname of Caboche derives from the old Provençal word for ‘horseshoe nails’ and their Vieilles Vignes cuvée is named after Elisabeth Chambellan, a local blacksmith’s daughter who married Jean-Louis Boisson in 1772. "Since 1772, we have had parcels that have remained in the family, without there being any exchange or sale. The vines which are still there now are over 100 years old and produce an outstanding wine. The oldest parcel was planted in 1906. As a tribute and thanks to Elisabeth, we are today vine-growers from father to son and daughter." On the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation, the Domaine du Père Caboche vineyard is covered with rolled pebbles on 17 hectares, with the greatest density on the famous soil of La Crau. They contribute to the density and fullness of our wines. On this sea of pebbles, the vineyard still offers different products, thanks to the different layers in the underground. The clay-calcareous soil helps the vines with their water retaining properties, which has become more and more important with climatic changes. Thus the wines appear to be softer in the mouth. Sand is also present in proportions changing from one soil to another, bringing notes of elegance and finesse.
