Création d'Émilie Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019

“This is Châteauneuf at its most seductive.”
– Robert Parker on the Boisson family’s wines

We’re thrilled to bring you the latest vintage of this rich (and hugely acclaimed) Châteauneuf-du-Pape from a historic family estate.

The story begins in 1777, when Jean-Louis Boisson married into the Chambellan family, and Domaine du Père Caboche was born. It’s one of the oldest, continuously family-run estates in the region, and makes what Parker calls “enormously delicious” wines. And no wonder he’s so smitten…

“The most famous terroir is the plateau of La Crau.” – Hugh Johnson, The World Atlas of Wine

The Boisson family proudly own vines on that legendary Châteauneuf plateau, next to icons like Vieux Télégraphe and Bonneau, while their other vines have prestigious neighbors such as Saint Préfert and Clos des Papes—very good company indeed. For years, longtime Châteauneuf mayor Jean-Pierre Boisson ran the estate, and now, his daughter Emilie continues the tradition, making what Rhône expert Jeb Dunnuck calls “beautiful wines.”

Thanks to our close friendship with Emilie, you have exclusive access to her signature release. Showcasing the glorious 2019 vintage, the latest release arrives with a slew of 90+ point scores—including 93 points from Vinous, 92 points from Gilbert & Gaillard and critic Jeb Dunnuck, and 91 points from Andreas Larsson...to name a few. Here’s Dunnuck’s delicious tasting note:

“Raspberry and strawberry fruits as well as hints of white pepper and garrigue. Medium-bodied, elegant, and seamless on the palate, it’s all about elegance and finesse and will evolve nicely for 10-12 years or more.”

Only a few hundred cases made—get in soon.
