Domaine Bois de Boursan
First up, make just a hard left and hard right after entering Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the route de Sourgues and you come to Domaine Bois de Boursan, where Jean-Paul Versino makes some of the appellation's most peppery, garrigue-filled reds. I make a semi-regular visit here, so you can reference my blog notes from my March 2009 visit, as well as complete reviews on Versino's wines.Versino is traditional in that he rarely destems fruit and never uses new oak, aging his wine in large foudres. With 27 parcels covering 16 hectares of vines, Versino is also the prototypical small domaine that relies on blending various terroirs, though the wines are always marked by the grippy, peppery Mourvèdre and Counoise grapes that buttress the fleshy Grenache.
