Producer Information:
         Domaine: Bois de Boursan. 
         Notes: The english version is under construction.
         Jean Versino created this small field in 1955. The wine was vinified at the cellar and then sold to the trader. As the sale of wine increased, it enabled purchases of land with varied orientations, stones, argilo limestone, and sands, making it possible to make the rich and complex wines. Most of the vines are about 40-100 year old and no pesticides are used. Grapes are harvested by hand, pressed and fermented in different wood for about eighteen months.

Grape/Varietal composition: 65% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah, 5% Other.

My notes: Loved it! A extremely solid smooth red, well balanced between fruit (Plum? Cherry?), herbs and pepper. After I re-read Bermans notes, I don't see the chestnut, but game, beef, and black pepper comes to mind as a pairing when I tasted this wine. Tasting was at Bermans and I am so pleased to have picked the two bottles from this domaine in my collection. 

Bermans tasting notes: A burly style, with lots of braised chestnut, game, black pepper and beef leading the way. There's a solid core of black currant fruit, with a long, structure-driven finish that shows great herb and mineral notes. Best from 2009 through 2022. 3,750 cases made. (Score: 92).

Buy Factor: Absolutely! perfect! Happy to own one! Maybe should plan for another!
