In a relatively short time, Nicolas Boiron has pushed this domaine’s wines into the upper echelon of the appellation. His 2016s, along with the 2015s serve as his finest work yet. Boiron represents the sixth generation of his family to oversee the 28.5-hectare estate, which was established in 1860. Prior to Nicolas’ arrival the wines could be very good, but there was a lack of consistency and often, a rustic and firm character defined them. These characteristics are no more. The wines post Nicolas’ arrival are almost shockingly elegant renditions of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, made with a light touch, even in hot vintages like 2016 and 2017. Pricing has not yet caught up to quality, so these wines should be high up on any savvy Rhône-lover’s shopping list.

Nicolas Boiron has been doing excellent, somewhat under-the-radar work for some time now. This set of 2016s could possibly be his most successful wines ever. Aside from the burly, extroverted La Folie bottling, which he only makes in exceptional vintages, Boiron’s wines tend to the elegant side of the Châteauneuf equation and I find them to be quite approachable soon after release.
