The abundant rain that fell in the autumn of 2021, replenishing the groundwater reserves, was an essential element of its success.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe winter was quite dry, and a strong Mistral wind in the first days of April prevented new episodes of frost. It set the rhythm for what turned out to be a dry and relatively mild winter, with less than 50mm of rainfall between March and May.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe summer was characterized by extreme drought, with temperatures that were certainly high, but not excessive, notably thanks to the cool nights. Thanks to their deep rooting systems, structured soils, and cover crops that limited the amount of evapotranspiration from the soil, the vines were able to continue their growing cycle without incident to produce grapes at perfect maturity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChâteauneuf-du-Pape was also touched by three heavy hailstorms, on June 5 and 24 and again on August 14, that swept across certain sectors of the appellation causing limited damage to the west-facing parts of some of our parcels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe damage caused by the brutal storm of August 14, particularly worrying given the proximity to the harvest, was fortunately restricted to certain areas, and immediately attenuated by the drying effect of the Mistral which began blowing following day. This kept the grapes healthy, warding off the development of rot and starting the healing process for the wood, essential for next year’s vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith hindsight we can see that the way we manage our vineyards - with plant infusions, high density planting, choice of orientation of the rows, no trimming, and use of cover crops, etc., - was once again invaluable in attaining optimum ripeness and the purest expression of our terroirs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvesting took place in good conditions between August 26 and October 6.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Boisrenard Blanc is a similar medium gold hue and boasts a brilliant perfume of honeyed orange, white peach, white flowers, spice, and crushed stone. This rich, medium to full-bodied, focused, and elegant white shows a vibrant, clean, lengthy style that will benefit from 6-12 months of bottle age and, I suspect, evolve gracefully for at least 4-6 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cotes du Rhone, France \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selected plots, of mainly old vines of the 13 varieties of the appellation planted together.
